Title: [SOLVED] No LAN / Internal net
Post by: trondert on August 28, 2011, 03:47:38 pm
Installed 810, on gigabyte GA-870A-UD3 motherboard

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:

Quote
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

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.

Cheers,
Matt.
