Hi The problem was it was not loading the driver for the ethernet card. I downloaded the latest driver from Intel - version 3.8.4 https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/15817
Did a make install and then rebooted. That fixed it. The card was recognised and lsmod shows e1000e loaded Thanks Naveed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1874437 Title: Intel 82579LM [8086:1502] Subsystem [1028:0498] Network driver for e1000 card not loaded on boot on beta 20.04 Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Hi The symptons are: I was running 20.04 Desktop Beta - everything was ok, I have an on board network card 00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82579LM Gigabit Network Connection (Lewisville) (rev 04) After patching on 20th April - the network dissappeard - not the device mind you. When you did ip a - you got 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000 link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 ::1/128 scope host valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever I tried downloading the latest as in the build on 20th but on boot from USB - it does not gring up the network My hack - install another 100M pci card - this caused the network drivers to be loaded and both cards to work.

If I unplug the ethernet to the 100M card that is a: 05:02.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8100/8101L/8139 PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter (rev 10) then the network stops working! Well weird. Many thanks for the help.
