So basically, i booted up manjaro to install it from USB, and i have no ethernet which is really odd,
My motherboard is a Z490 MSi Gaming Edge.
It detects my wifi ( i dont have the antennas attached ) cause i dont like wifi and mostly use ethernet, usually in the old days we had trouble with wifi, ethernet was always detected by default
and post some more information so we can see whatâs really going on. Now we know the symptom of the disease, but we need some more probing to know where the origin liesâŚ
i can clearly see my ethernet card there but it wont show up in my settings, im having to tether of my phone for now, the Realtek semi is my ethernet controller, all i see is vpn and proxy
Could you edit that and when providing code/output, please copy-paste it in-between 3 backticks at the beginning and end of the code/text ``` so that the output looks like this:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

instead of like this:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.

(as that makes our life much easier so you get helped more quickly and efficiently)
Also if you provide the network section of an inxi --full --system --admin --verbosity=7 --no-host --filter it will give us more information than just an lspci as inxi will also tell us whether the Ethernet driver is loaded or not.
(3 or higher is fine, add the # before the lines above if those lines are present)
Ctrl+XYEnter to save if there is anything to save
If you did save, execute:
sudo update-grub
Reboot
Go to grubâs Advanced options
Choose these kernels one by one and try them out one by one in the following order: 5.8, 5.4, 4.19 and see if that helps.
If that doesnât help, we might have to build the latest and greatest Realtek RTL8125 from source, but before we do that, please rule out any hardware problem and:
get a brand spanking new Ethernet cable
Hook that up to another port of your router / switch / hub / âŚ
Reboot said network equipment just to be 100% safe.
I fixed it finally, i found this little script on github which did it all for me and it worked straight up with kernel 5.8 from the latest manjaro 20.1 installation.
so that the next person that has the exact same problem you just had will benefit from your post as well as your question will now be in the âsolvedâ status.
