I have installed Linux Mint 14 Cinnamon edition in my new Toshiba laptop as dual boot along with Windows 8.
The wired connection is working perfectly in Windows.
But in Linux Mint 14. The Network Settings dialog shows only "Wireless" and "Proxy". "Wired" is missing, so my wired connection is also not working.
When I tried ifconfig -a , got the below message:
Code: Select all
ifconfig -a

When I tried - ifconfig eth0 up : Got the below ERROR message.
Code: Select all
ifconfig eth0 up
eth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
I have another laptop with Linux Mint 13 Maya installed and it works perfectly fine for both Wired and Wireless connections. Please help me to fix this issue. Thanks
When I ran the nm-tool command , I got the below message: it does not show eth0 at all. Do I need to install any additional drivers ?
