Hello,
Since I updated LMDE 2013 to LMDE 2014, my ethernet connection doesn't work anymore: when I plug in the ethernet cable, nothing happens. My wifi is OK.
When I click on the network icon, I get :
Ethernet network : disconnected

Note that my wired connection worked fine on LMDE 2013.

Code: Select all

lspci

returns

Code: Select all

Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation pro/100 VE Network Connection (rev02)

Code: Select all

ifconfig

returns eth0, lo and wanl0 parameters.

How could I repair my ethernet connection?

Are you using Mate or Cinnamon? Could this problem be related to the network applet... ?

can you post the output of

Code: Select all

ifconfig -a

Thank you for your advices.

Today, I start my LMDE 2014 / Mate (64bits) and before asking ifconfig -a, I try once again to plug in my ethernet cable...
and it works!!
I don't understand. I just changed the output on my ADSL modem (the other still works fine).

In case the problem comes back tomorrow, I show what ifconfig -a gives :

Glad you solved it by yourself.
