Ok so I got my RPi and installed r12697 openElec on my SD card, plugged it in the RPi. Then I plugged the Ethernet cable, the hdmi, and then the usb power (this one) and after waiting a long while I got the xbmc home screen. Great! But I realize I have no network. I see the 3 leds on board and the LNK one is flashing once in a while. The cable itself is fine I tested it with my laptop.
When I go to the system info > network, I sometime see the Mac address and Internet fields flashing a "busy" text.
I was wondering if it was the device itself. As it happens, I bough 2 RPi! So I tried the other RPi and have the same result: no IP.
I was not able to get the console directly from the xbmc interface so I had no way to force a static IP.
The only thing left is if the build r12697 is bad in some way.
Any other ideas??
