hello,

i'm not sure what is the problem here.

the installer asked you want device do you want to use, and you choose eth0. then you did not know the essid/key so the installer was not able to set up the network. where is the issue?

thanks

i mean if you don't configure wifi you cant use eth0 with a cable = is essid key link only to wifi or onboard lan eth0 too ?

I don't get that bug..

You may want to switch to tty2 and see what your card is called. I does work here with wifi / and onboard one even with wifi / onboard and a extra network card.
