No network on first startup?

I just received my fit-PC2 (Linux version), and when I first started up, networking wasn't working. NetworkManager didn't run, and trying to get into network-admin (System -> Administration -> Network in GNOME) came up with a permission error, even when I ran it as root.
Luckily, an update seemed to fix the problem - but you need an internet connection to update! Here's how, if anyone's stuck with this problem:
Open up a terminal (Applications -> Terminal)
We'll need to do all this as root, so enter:and enter the password "111111" when prompted.
Then enter the following commands, replacing <yourIP> with a valid IP on your local network, and <routerIP> with your router's IP (I used 192.168.1.100 and 192.168.1.1 respectively, but your setup may be different):You'll get a bunch of warnings about the Medibuntu repository not having a valid signature when you run apt-get update - these can be ignored.
