Update. I got a USB-Ethernet adapter and am at least connected for now. I really want to use the onboard NIC if possible. I was able to install pciutils so I can see things. lspci shows: 06:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8125 2.5GbE Controller (rev 04) so at least it is being seen. I find no reference to it in dmesg, but I am not a dmesg guru, so I don't know if it should show up there. _______________________________________________ PLUG: https://pdxlinux.org PLUG mailing list PLUG@pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
