Okay, in a fresh LiveUSB session where nothing has been installed yet it looks like you also need the gcc package (download link below) http://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/gcc-defaults/gcc_12.2.0-3_amd64.deb Installing in LiveUsb session demo@mx1:~ $ apt-get --print-uris install build-essential...

Might need to manually download the gcc package too. I'll check later, I'm not at my computer right now (posting this from my phone). I tested installing build-essential from a mx23 install I've been using for a while and gcc might've already been installed. I'll test it again in a LiveUsb session. ...

These are links to the packages you would need to download to install build-essential: http://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/gcc-12/libstdc%2b%2b-12-dev_12.2.0-14_amd64.deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/gcc-12/g%2b%2b-12_12.2.0-14_amd64.deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/gcc-...

timkb4cq Which firmware package does the nic use? Looking thru dmesg I don't see any obvious error, a bunch of iwlwifi & bluetooth messages which I don't think those have anything to do with the wired connection. $ sudo dmesg | grep firmware [ 6.588807] platform regulatory.0: firmware: direct-l...

Okay, I plugged the old pc and EQ12 together and the LEDs are on/flashing! OK - so its obviously not a problem on the EQ12 side :happy: In this case - you should consider to send your DI into retirement and replace w#some more contemporary HW ...

Thanks Tim, I'll take a look at that.

Same behaviour if you connect the two PCs direct (optionally with a crossover-cable) ? Haven't tried that. Would that involve just connecting the two and checking the ethernet port LEDs? I have just one monitor and keyboard/mouse that I'm switching between the old pc and the EQ12 so it's kind of ha...

When the dc power is plugged in but I haven't yet pressed the power button on the front panel, the ethernet LEDs will light up. Shortly after pressing the power button the LEDs turn off.

I'm aware of the speed mismatch, would think they would backwards compatible though.
