Hi,

Murtaza, I would try adding a profile in your Network Manager and see if
that helf. Go click network setting and from there add an additional profile.

If this does not work, then maybe best to uninstall and reinstall the “network
manager.”

@blueice thanks for the suggestions, tried them.

On digging a little more, I found in another forum post where someone was having a similar problem, and they reset the naming of the ethernet interface and it started showing up -

sudo ln -s /dev/null /etc/udev/rules.d/80-net-setup-link.rules

after doing the above, the connection shows up.

Most excellent work, Murtaza! I tried your command and nothing
of helf came up.

Anyways, I am glad you found the solution as networking issues
can be a real pain in the a$$.
