[SOLVED] mint 21 and ethernet

Post by ogborne »

I just finished a clean install of 21. I was using 19 with a wired connection to the internet. Everything seem to go fine with mint 21 until I tried the internet. I got wifi, but not the wired connection. Not sure what happened, but the wired option isn't available or at least I can't find it. Can I reinstall it?

Does the ethernet work in a live session from your Mint 21 install media?

I use the install disk for mint 21 and still I only got wifi. No wired connection. Tried restarting modem/router - same thing.

thanks for all the replies. It seems that the LAN feature in the bios was off. Once I turned it on the wired connection worked.

Hi,

I have a similar problem and would like to try your solution. Can you please tell me how to change the bios features? (sorry for this beginner question...)
