Public bug reported:
When doing a fresh install of Ubuntu 17.10 I notice that the installer
didn't detect my wired ethernet correctly. I went through with the
installation and I could still not connect to the internet. In the
network settings I found that the MAC address was incorrect. It was set
to ED:0B:00:00:E0:00 which is not the correct MAC address. My previous
installation of Ubuntu 16.04 could find the correct MAC address
automatically.
I tried setting the correct MAC address in the network settings but that
made the wired connection disappear from the network settings
altogether.
My work around is to run the following commands at boot time:
ip link set dev enp6s0 address xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
ip link set dev enp6s0 up
(xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx is my correct MAC address)
