Ethernet not connecting to internet after 10.9.5 install

[Omega Mac]

Macbook5,1 unibody (before pro) installed mavericks on a fresh drive via a mac mini.

Wifi now works (before on ML wifi was broken) but ethernet while being assigned an IP via DHCP or DHCP manually is not connecting out to the internet. Though it can for example log on to the local router admin panel. (192.168.x.x)

Meanwhile I'm reintalling system fresh from a USB boot installer I created to see if that does a better job.

Any ideas if I find the same problem?

Well my installer frooze on the "setting up mac" screen.

Time to try another approach.
