Ethernet not working on asus cn60 "Panther" #556

Closed naz9ul closed 4 years ago

naz9ul commented 4 years ago

Hi I could not make my ethernet port working.

The nic and module are loaded into the kernel

The network app can see the card, but wont let me activated it

My wifi is working great.

To fix this I add to modifiy the following file:

cat /usr/lib/NetworkManager/conf.d/10-globally-managed-devices.conf

[keyfile] unmanaged-devices=*,except:type:wifi,except:type:wwan,except:type:ethernet

dmidecode -s system-product-name Panther

This has been a known issue since the 3.x beta and there is a much simpler way to fix it that doesn't involve rooting around in places we typically don't like to root around in (/usr/lib is not a user configuration directory), see https://www.reddit.com/r/GalliumOS/comments/bak8lt/galliumos_30beta_released/

This needs to be documented better. FYI, the reason we don't include this fix out of the box is because we don't know why Ubuntu changed things upstream.
