Hi James,
...the system has no built-in RTC which still runs if the system is
powered off.
After power is up and eth0 is alive, the time/date has to be set via
ntp-client. The rest already working.
I called
/etc/init.d/ntp-client start
after booting the little beast and plugging in the RJ45 and everything
else was fine.
Currently I am experimenting with chrony (emerging).
Will see, if this will make a difference ;)
Best
mcc
