Hi! Thank you for reading.

Again, thank you for your time.

ok this is what I got:

Code: Select all

01:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. Marvell W8300 802.11 Adapter [11ab:1fa6] (rev 07)
	Subsystem: D-Link System Inc Device [1186:3b09]
01:02.0 Communication controller [0780]: Conexant Systems, Inc. HSF 56k Data/Fax Modem [14f1:2f20]

01:08.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation 82562EZ 10/100 Ethernet Controller [8086:1050] (rev 02)
	Subsystem: Gateway, Inc. Device [107b:4043]
	Kernel driver in use: e100

So I have a Marvell w8300, is this a not Linux friendly card?
Thank you for helping.

It is not a Linux friendly card, there are no Linux drivers for it that I can find. I would try to find an Intel 7260 as they are well supported

oh well I guess I just keep using the Ethernet port.

Thank you so much for your help.
If I happen to run in to something to solve I will update here.
