So for the last few hours I have been trying to get my ethernet port working on my laptop. I have installed the r8101 package from the AUR and I can see the network interface for the ethernet port. The problem is I can't set it to the "up" state. Pic:
Any help would be appreciated.
Cowardly bump. I believe now the correct module is r8169, which is loaded, though I still cannot set the state to "up".
I'm not an Arch user so I'm not really any help with that part. Is there a physical button on your laptop that turns on and off your wireless card?
No it's probably a group problem. The user is not a member of the correct group.
What group would it be then?
This is the ethernet I'm trying to get working :)
@2bdkid
Have you enabled the device?
i.e; systemctl enable dhcpcd@enp3s0
It is enabled, and network manager says it acquired an ip, but still nothing on the internet loads.
