Installed 810, on gigabyte GA-870A-UD3 motherboard
http://www.gigabyte.eu/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3753#sp
External net on pci-card works well, onboard internal does not.
Tried to switch internal/external, then external did not work. So im guessing the onboard chip does not agree with linuxmce/kubuntu.
Onboard LAN chip:
Realtek 8111D/E chip (10/100/1000 Mbit)
So how can i change driver, and can i only change driver without changing any settings in LMCE? Or do i only change something in LMCE?
So where do i go from here? :P
thx in advance!

Possible your onboard nic is not recognized, try the link below
http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Realtek_8168
You can check if a driver is loaded with the nic, using lspci -v|more and look for you nic card see eg below

Fiddled a little, then installed 10.04. And now it works :)

That was definitely an unrecognised NIC then. If you decide to go back to 810 for any reason, it is fairly easy to get working.
