Can not get Wired Connection to work Laptop, LMDE
Posted: Tue Nov 08, 2011 6:28 am
Hello All
*NOTE soryy guys, i mixed this up before, saying i had no WIF, I meant i have no Wired LAN , wifi is fine
I have a dell 600 M laptop
I have perfectly normal working wifi but no wired connection, I have used lmde for a half year now, and only recently tried to connect with the lan and nothing happened. I have tried for about 2 weeks to solve this myself and have come to the conclusion that i can not and therefore will ask for your help and also thank you in advance.
a word of warning - i know how to copy and paste commands , i don't really understand what most of them do, I know how to open files and edit them, the commands below are what i have found and looked for myself on the net, but still no luck.
i really thank you guys for helping,
here is some info i have know
