GadgetBridge lets you have control over the data your fitness tracker outputs (instead of only "sending to the cloud".) Apparently works particularly well for cheap trackers that include the Nordic CPU     #>


Mint Rafaela 17.2 - No ethernet with onboard Intel I217-V. I ran into this issue on a Mint 18 install that was running fine previously. Turns out it was the Intel driver update that Windows performed (I believe this bug is only triggered if you dual-boot). I went into the driver in Windows and disabled "wake on LAN", then the ethernet started working fine under Linux. Super frustrating and this was the only post I found online with the right answer.     #>
