If need be, first establish temporary internet connection for your computer by means of your cell phone.

Please generate an overview of your system like this:

- Launch a terminal window (this is how to launch a terminal window);

- Make the terminal window full screen, to avoid chopped lines;

- Copy/paste this command into the terminal:

Code: Select all

inxi -Fxpmrz
(if you type: the letter F is a capital letter, and don't omit the space after inxi!)

Press Enter.

Copy/paste the output in your next message.

If I may ask, was there something wrong with the previous network driver? If not, I'd try a Timeshift restore to bring you back to a previous point.

The old driver did not work.. I was not able to get wired network. I am able to get wifi.

It would say connecting and than unplugged.

Try this:
Update Manager - panel: View - Linux kernels
Install the latest kernel of the 5.8 series. Then reboot.

I updated the kernal but the driver for the network fell back to the older version. However it still wont work.

Now when I try to update the driver I get the following:

$ sudo dpkg -i e1000e-dkms_3.8.4_all.deb

Please use code tags when posting results from Terminal, especially such long output. It makes it much easier to read,

Thanks. :wink:
