My experience is that the tricky part is not really installing alx (on Debian-based systems - Ubuntu, Xubuntu included - backports.org is your friend for 11.x/12.x). The problem I had was getting it done when you are booting from a USB stick. It will probably need to install a new kernel image (as a dependency), then the package tries to link the new kernel with the bootloader (GRUB), and fails.

There is probably a way to get through this, anyone has a good step-by-step tutorial? Thanks!

Its this one:

http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/H81M/index.de.asp

I have not installed anything so far. I have red about that alx stuff too. On the official Smos website. I have no Idea how to install those drivers though.

Are there other plug and play mining ditros that I may check?

http://www.asrock.com/MB/Intel/H81M/index.asp?cat=Download  - at the bottom of this page are links for drivers and utilities (you don't need to install any utility - but you do need the drivers), just select your OS and download it.

As for your question, try BAMT, it's a linux based OS that's basically plug and play and designed specifically for mining, it also boots from a USB stick, so you can easily try it out even if you have windows installed already.

Here's a link to BAMT: http://guiminer.net/bamt

This is a link to SMOS, which is similar to BAMT but has some bugs fixed: http://www.smos-linux.org/installation/

Hey guys, I need some urgent help with my ASRock H81M which I can't connect via Ethernet.

If I connect the miner to a monitor and work from the desktop the lower right corner says: "No Ethernet Connection Available", Cable Router ect. are definitely okay, as the cable works just fine if I plug it into one of my other miners.

If someon can help me adding the correct drivers (I have no knowelege in Linux whatsover) I will pay a reward of 1 Litecoin!.



Did you install motherboard drivers... ? Specifically the LAN drivers.
