I think I may have found a possible workaround. The stock drivers on 14.04 don't work out of the box for *gigabit ethernet*. If you're connecting to a gigabit router, then open a terminal and run:
$> sudo ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 duplex full If you don't have ethtool installed, install with: $> sudo apt-get install ethtool Once you run that command, your link should be detected immediately. The catch is that you'll be running at 100Mbps, not gigabit. I think what happened was that there was some kind of kernel networking API change between 12.04 and 14.04. Whatever changed broke this driver's ability to deal with gigabit connections. It's a bummer that this doesn't work out-of-the-box and that it's been ignored for so long, but at least we have a crappy workaround. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/880316 Title: Ubuntu installer can't setup network on Shuttle XS35GTV2 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/880316/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
