Yeah, I don’t want to go too much into detail, but there’s basically two different paths you can take. Either you get a preconfigured setup, but then have to rely on the attrocious support from our IT supplier, or you choose a DIY setup.
I could DIY it, so the ethernet works as intended, but it’s just not worth the effort…
