I am a noob at linux so please make it sound simple for me to understand.I liked the way manjaro looked so I downloaded manjaro KDE plasma and dual booted it with windows 11.When I am using windows 11 I always use ethernet.When i was installing manjaro i was using ethernet but it said in the installer that you are not connected to a network.I ignored that and i installed manjaro.For the first time when I booted in to manjaro it said that i am connected to a network but cannot acess internet.So i tried using a wifi adapter coz my motherboard dosen’t have built in wifi.But that also didn’t work as it said no available networks.Then i tried it on windows and the wifi adapter seems to be working fine on windows 11.Then i hopped back in to manjaro and tried usb tethering and it worked fine.I used that to search the forums for a fix.In one forum someone was recommending to go check my drivers so I did.My network driver was in open source so i installed it.After that i disconnected usb tehering and plugged my ehternet back.And now it didnt even say that it was “connected to a network but couldnt connect to internet”.Then i unistalled it and reinstalled the driver again and again but it didnt work.I typed this commandinxi -Nazy to check my ethernet type and here are the results.

the driver was loaded, otherwise you wouldnt see this
check in bios if fast boot is disabled - you may not have this option;

Also i have to say that the ssd where windows is installed is a gpt or UEFI drive and the drive where manjaro is installed is a mbr or legacy drive.
brahma
26 December 2022 11:20
10
why would you do that, if you can use uefi/gpt? … but check the fast boot and the fast startup, and disable them
Zapaxe

I disabled fast boot in bios fast startup in windows.I didnt install manjaro in the ssd beacause it was a 256GB ssd and i had 1TB of free space on normal hard drive

ok, but that you are on mbr is not related…inxi -N

i entered the command it it didnt do anything but now my it is saying it is connected to a network but can connect to internet.
brahma

ok so it loaded the driver… so now in system settings/network/connections/wired connection/ipv4 set up your dns/address/netmask/gateway, click apply
Zapaxe
26 December 2022 11:53
17
can you tell me how to add my dns
brahma
26 December 2022 11:54
18
select the method as ‘manual’, and in dns servers type your provider dns, or use cloudflare dns: 1.1.1.1 or quad dns: 9.9.9.9
Zapaxe
26 December 2022 12:24
19
Now my ethernet works but its really slow.i used quad dns as my dns
brahma
26 December 2022 12:31

and how is the speed with 1.1.1.1? is it better?
… now its no longer loaded, since you messed with it…
