Are you disconnected from WIFI while attempting to connect from wired? If not disconnect from WIFI and try, or try wired connecting to another computer to test the interface.

Code:
sudo ip link set dev enp0s25 up

Code:
sudo /sbin/ifconfig enp0s25 up

Did you get any error message or any message at all after running either one of these commands? What did the message say?

Nope. Just new prompts.

Thanks for exploring this, moltke.

There are a number of suggestions online for this chipset. Let's work through them one at a time. Some report a fix by having the latest BIOS installed.

Here's more:

Code:
sudo lshw -C network

gives, in relevant part:

Code:
  *-network

I notice the driver version is old, but it's part of the kernel. Not sure if changing it would matter, because the computer is old, too, and changing kernel drivers is a little over my head. If that's what it'll take, that's what I'll do, but i expect there's a simpler solution.

Thanks for reviewing this and thinking about it.

I found this:

Code:
dracut -f /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)

Somebody said it worked for him. I don't understand it, if I should try it as is, or if some of those things are variables I need to replace, like the username.

I've read updating the driver in the kernel didn't work for several people.

Also, output please of:

Code:
sudo lshw -C net

and

Code:
dmesg | grep -e eth -e e1000

I wouldn't do that at this stage.

Thank you for your input.

The computer with the recent LL install is at my gf's, and I'm away from it until next weekend. I'll jump back into this thread when I'm in front of it again.

However, I can make one side comment right now. I've been a xubuntu user for 15+ years, with two short deviations, one to mint, and one to mx linux. I left the both in short order because I found their forums almost useless. This forum, however, has been off the chart phenomenal.

I already loved the OS. Now, I really love it. I'll be converting my own box from xubuntu to LL soon.

Thank you all for the help.
