[SOLVED] No LAN / Internal net

[trondert]

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?

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.
