Nard for embedded music installation

[Daniel McAnulty]

Really brilliant thread, just what I was looking for.  Thanks Ronny, you're on almost every one of these threads!

I'm running tests on a VMWare Ubuntu installation on Mac OS, trying to get a RPi 3B up and running with Nard, but can't seem to get it working.  I get the image onto the card, the unit appears to boot up, but I don't see it connecting to my router.  

Going to see if I can dig up a dedicated ubuntu laptop that I should have in a box somewhere to try to rule out any vmware related issues, but has anybody else had a successful build with a Pi 3B yet?
