Et131x chipset (network) livecd- MSI-1036/L715 laptop

Just a note for anyone looking for a livecd to boot up the MSI-1036/L715 notebook and wanting the wired ethernet to work. I only have limited bandwidth, so pm me for details on how to get it. Once I can make the image under 75 mb or so, I'll be able to host it on a faster account. It's still too big yet, at 122 mb, but it's getting smaller.

I'm pretty sure this falls under unsupported software, as the network module is released on the BSD license. It will likely never be included in the main kernel tree, thus, this livecd.

Enjoy

Ok, not sure how many people are interested in this, but I've gotten it small enough to host on google now. It's in 4 parts and is located at http://dadams1969.googlepages.com/livecd

I don't know if this works for the LG laptop or not, but it's been tested and working on my MSI-1036 laptop.

Enjoy
