Hi
I have been using windows OS for last 15 years. I am now trying to switch to Linux and I installed Linux mint maya cinnamon 64bit edition. For the last 2 days I have been trying to get my wired internet connection working. I figured my network card is not being detected. Can any body help me please? I am quiet frustrated now. FYI: my network card is integrated to the motherborad and I do not know the make or model of the NIC. Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi remoulder
Thanks for your reply. I am travelling now. So I wont be able to upload the output until Sunday. However I tried lspci command earlier but I did not show any information regarding my NIC.

Re: Network card is not being detected
If it's not being detected it's either not enabled or faulty. However without the output it's not possible to say. Please only post when you have access to the machine.

Re: Network card is not being detected
There are several factors that determine our destiny, which means that we must be in the know of our internal selves.

Re: Network card is not being detected
hello guys
Here is the output of lspci command. I am sure the network card is enabled in the bios as I was able to use the same internet connection in windows. Please help me, I do not wanna go back to windows.

Re: Network card is not being detected
Have you checked again that it's enabled in the BIOS? Other than that does it still work if you boot into Windows or a live disc? If not then it may be faulty.

Re: Network card is not being detected
I am also having this problem. I had Windows 7 on this computer. It is based on this mother board
GA-78LMT-USB3 (rev. 4.1) AMD 760G + SB710 Chipset
Which is a different board than this user, but I too have no network card. It was not detected, nor does it show up on the list when I issue the lspci command. I believe it is a realtek on board NIC, but I do not know the specific one. I downloaded drivers from the realtek site, but I do not know how to install. Thoughts?
Links? anything would help, thanks.

Re: Network card is not being detected
You can use the lshw (list hardware) command, in a terminal. You want to look for the section labeled *-network.
sudo lshw
Here is the output from my system:

With this information, you should be able to determine which hardware you have. Most likely, the drivers are available. The "lsmod" command will tell you which drivers you have loaded. You may need to determine which driver you need and load that module -> sudo modprobe xxxx
