Ubuntu Networking :: AR8152 Ethernet Not Working In 10.10
May 20, 2011
I'm having a strange problem with my ethernet card. In previous installs of 10.10 on this same computer, I've never had any trouble with either my wireless or my wired internet. However, after messing around with some other distros, I recently did a fresh install of 10.10 on this computer, and now only wireless internet is working. When I plug in an ethernet cable, I do not get connected.
One difference between this install and the previous installs is that, previously, I had always installed while connected to the internet via ethernet. This time I did it while connected wirelessly. I've tried methods from other threads, but I've had no luck. In particular, I have trouble "make install"ing the official Atheros driver, and I've installed the compat-wireless driver atl1c, but I'm still not getting a connection.
Here is the relevant output of lspci -vv:
Code:

After a reboot, my ethernet is now working. I don't understand, but I'm happy.
I realise there are a few threads of issues with the AR8152 chipset and Ubuntu 11.04, however, my issue does not appear to be the same as others, nor does there appear to be a consistent solution yet. My ethernet worked fine in Ubuntu 10.10, but after upgrading to 11.04, I experience the errors I am about to explain. I also experience these when booting off a Ubuntu 11.04 Live CD, so it's not just the upgrade the caused the issues. The issue is, if I turn on my system without the ethernet cable plugged in, and then plug the ethernet cable in once I've logged into Ubuntu, the system will not detect it, at all. No amount of network manager of dhclient eth0 will get it to function, however, the device itself still appears in the system. If I turn the system on with the ethernet plugged in, however, it will get an IP address and function correctly. I tried to download the drivers from Atheros and build them, but for whatever reason it complained about me not having autoconf.h or automake.h (can't remember which), despite having build-essentials and linux-headers-generic installed.
I tried to compile Atheros AR8152 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller driver for fedora 13 64 bit kernel version is 2.6.34.7-56.fc13.x86_64. I have installed kernel source , kernel header and necessary all things to compile it. (linux-firmware-20100806-4.fc13.noarch also installed). I tried AR81Family-linux-v1.0.1.13 source from Atheros web site.
But when I try to make it it give following error. Code: Makefile:173: *** *** Aborting the build. *** This driver is not supported on kernel versions older than 2.4.0. Stop. It is not compiling issue because I compiled and installed broadcom wireless driver. Makefile is attached here (renamed as Makefile.txt -> Makefile)
i have a centos 5 and i cant access to the LAN or Internet because , i cant create a network connection , i try to say My Ethernet dont appears,and i cant add any connections.i id thisTerminal:Quote:sudo iwconfig
When I start my Ubuntu machine, it says "eth0 connection established". But i could not able to ping to other machines available in LAN & also to Internet.
After installing fedora 13(x86_64) in my new acer aspire timelinex 4820T laptop , I have seen that the ethernet is not working. Network manager shows that "no network devices available".
I just installed Ubuntu 9.10 on my HP dv6500, and neither the wireless won't work. I don't see any drivers under System >> Administration >> Hardware Drivers, and I can't connect it to the internet any other way when I'm running Ubuntu. (I still have Vista as a dual-boot, and it works fine there). (Sorry about the title - the ethernet DOES actually work, but I can't seem to change the title of the post).
I have just installed a generic PCI ethernet card into a fairly low powered system (Celeron 766MHZ, 512mb Ram, 40 Gb HDD, Generic sound and video). The card came with no drivers. I have since installed Ubuntu 9.10, and up to a point everything is fine and looks great. However when I connect an ethernet cable up to the PCI card (in the hope of connecting with the Internet), nothing happens. I am thinking that I need Ubuntu drivers for the PCI card ? or does Ubuntu 9.10 come with drivers and I need to go into the 'engine room' to sort it all out ?
I've set up 10.04 Server so that I could install directly to a command line, due to the fact that Desktop was crashing during the install every time. The installation goes fine, except for the networking portion. DHCP fails every time I try it. So I set up a static IP as an alternative. Once installation completes, none of the network-oriented tools (ping, telnet) work. I've tried pinging my router and I get 'Destination Host Unknown'. This is true if I change to a DHCP oriented setup as well.
The router sees that the machine is there, as indicated by the slowly blinking connection light meaning that it's hooked up to *something* but there's no activity. Also, networking did work within Windows before I nuked it, so I know it has the ability to operate correctly. I'm at a loss, mostly due to my own newness and ignorance of how to start tackling this within this environment.
Version: Ubuntu 10.04 Relavant hardware: P5QL Pro built-in ethernet, cable modem with linksys wireless-G router (although problem is with ethernet connection, not wireless)
One minute my ethernet was working, and the next it stopped working. The only thing that I did between it working and not working was install electricsheep from Synaptic and then I shut down the computer. When I restarted a bit later, no ethernet connection shows up.
I checked the cables, made sure they are in tight.
My laptop connects using the same ethernet cable fine. So its not the cable or the router.
I reset the router and the computer at the same time. Still doesn't work.
I don't know where to even start with troubleshooting this sort of problem. Everything to the extent of my computer knowledge seems to be working fine.
I upgraded to the newest version of Ubuntu a few months ago, and ever since then, the ethernet connection to my router stops working when I restart the machine. It eventually comes back, but after varying amounts of time. Sometimes 20 minutes, sometimes 2 days.
Restarting the computer and cycled reboots of the router don't seem to have any beneficial effect, at least that I can detect.
The light for the slot on the router does not light up like it normally would, so it's almost like the OS doesn't even recognize the network card.
I am using ubuntu 9 but unable to connect to internet via my usb Siemens c110 modem. I have a dual boot system of both windows7 and ubuntu9. I am using the same modem in windows7 and have installed virtualbox where i have installed the same ubuntu9 but there it automatically detects the wired connection(usb)[eth0] but in the actual boot it doesnt detect anything. I have typed in the terminal sudo ppconfig but it was unable to find anything.
The on-board NIC on my machine died this morning, so I've just gone out and bought a replacement PCI card. The card has been recognised by Karmic, but it's not working. /var/log/messages says:
Code: May 9 11:21:58 ian-desktop kernel: [ 2.082324] r8169 Gigabit Ethernet driver 2.3LK-NAPI loaded May 9 11:21:58 ian-desktop kernel: [ 2.082334] r8169 0000:04:02.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 18 (level, low) -> IRQ 18
[Code]....
how I install the appropriate driver (noting that I have to sneakernet files across via usb stick), or any other diagnostics I should try?
I run Ubuntu 10.04 on a PackardBell laptop, with an Orange Livebox 2 providing ADSL. I am connected to the Livebox via WiFi, but I can't connect using the ethernet cable. I think that in making changes to the system some time ago I must have ruined something, but I can't work out what.
My computer wouldn't come out of sleep mode, so I had to shut it down improperly. Now there's no ethernet network connection. The NIC works as I can start the computer by wake-on-lan, but somehow Ubuntu no longer sets up a network connection on it.
The green light on the NIC is lit up and blinking. I have changed no settings. It used to get an IP address from the DHCP no problem, but ifconfig now only shows 127.0.0.1.
I had 2 Ethernet ports and neither of them were working on a fresh build a friend was struggling with. After reading the suggestions to fix the issue and thinking that there had to be an easier way I had an epiphany. I would go to my spare parts box and bring out my old Netgear GA311 and pop it into the slot. So after searching for 10 minutes I found it and installed it. Booted up the rig and it found that right away (SWEET) now that's not the fix anybody can do that, once I updated Ubuntu the on-board ports started working (that's what I'm using now). I can't explain what the update did but for a few bucks a used card in the tool box might not be a bad idea! Mother board is a Gigabyte GAX58A-UD5 Rev.1 Personally I'm an ASUS guy.
Today I realized that my newly installed Natty does not recognize the Ethernet port, I used to have it when I was working on the Ubutnu 10.10. The following is the output (only the network related part) of lshw command:
I acquired an older hp compaq presario computer version 6310us, and initially installed mint, followed by Ubuntu 9.04. Neither one recognized the onboard ethernet port. I checked the bios, and LAN is enabled. It is also enabled in the drop down menu from the toolbar on the desktop. The cable works fine on other computers, and the light on the ethernet port flashes like it does when the cable is connected. I'm new to linux, so not sure what to do to get the connection working.
I just installed Slackware 13.1 on my new Toshiba satellite c650 and my ethernet device isn't working. I have tried to compile the driver provided by atheros but being a newbie i failed. I understand that there's a driver included in the kernel, so why isn't it loading? The info center list my PCI LAN card as "attansic corp device 2060".
I patched my wireless driver in order to support packet injection. Using this tutorial:
- Install the Firmware:
Code:
- Create new directory:
Code:
- Now disconnect Internet and unload all your driver (use rmmod command)
- Move/copy the Compat-Wireless patched in /usr/src/drivers directory and unpack the drivers:
Code:
Blacklist the wl driver: (STA driver)
Code:
Currently I'm running Ubuntu 10.10, Kernel 2.5.35-29-generic. I have a Broadcom 4318 for my WLAN and a Broadcom 4401-B0 for my ethernet. I followed the tutorial and I managed to get packet injection working on my WLAN; however, my ethernet connection isn't working. I tried sudo modeprobe b44, but I get the following message:

I am trying to get SME Server set up as a private server/gateway. Problem is no matter what I do I can only get one ethernet working at a time and only to the internet, not the local network. I tried both SME Server 7.4 and 8.0 beta 5 witht he same result. Now of course I checked the ethernet cards. The two I have now on it do work. One of them is the onboard ethernet the other one is in the second pci slot. They jsut don't work at the same time. (also I am familiar with SME and I had it configured correctly. Even if I messed up the order of the cards it is easy enough to just get up and switch the cables, reboot, etc.) I thought maybe there was a jumper setting or an over ride of some sort to let me use two ethernet cards. <I previously had all of this set up with an old HP computer (came with windows 98 originally.) But that computer decided it was time to retire to the road side.> It seems that it should just work. Any ideas on what I am missing or what I can do?
Edit:Spent another hour trying to get it to work and still nothing. It is picking up both ethernet cards just fine, I just updated sme 8 beta5 so the internet is working fine. I just can't get the local ethernet card to do anything at all, even though it is showing up as a green ok at boot. I checked the bios and I am not seeing anything there. It had an option to enable/disable LAN (which is enabled but I tried both and using to PCI ethernet cards. Didn't do anything different.) It has a Local LAN boot rom option, tried it enabled and disabled (Disabled now.) and nothing. I turned off the serial and parallel ports (doesn't make a difference either way.) I looked all over the motherboard and the only thing I can find is the jumper to reset the password. If a computer that was at least 12 years old could run SME and don't see why this one can't, it is half that age and a much better computer hardware wise.
After upgrading from karmic to lucid yesterday made my RTL 8111 -network card die. It's integrated on Intel D510mo mini-itx board.
dmesg:

After some googling I found out a lot of forumposts about the same problem from year 2007, but the troubles seem to disappear on the newer versions and seem to be back now? With those posts I managed to get the link up by using ethtool by setting autoneg off and setting speed to be 10mbps and half duplex. Any other speed/duplex combination fails.
One suggestion I found was to install r8168-driver from Realtek instead of the r8169. It didn't help, result was very much the same.
I booted to 9.10 live-cd and there the network worked as intended (100Mbps, I dont have a gigabit switch)
I really wouldn't like to fall back to 9.10, but my file server is not very usable with 10mbps.
After using fedora 11 for a month or two now the ethernet gave out on me tonight. However if I switch to my ubuntu or windows XP install it runs fine. I made no recent changes to network connections, and no installed programs that should effect it.
I have tried, restarting, older kernel, restarting services, and clearing the DNS Cache. The specific error I get is that "Firefox can't find the server", and most other applications return similar. I can however ping websites still. All other computers on the network are running fine, and booting into another system the internet will work. Just not for fedora.
My laptop was working fine on wireless till the userinterface changed and it defaulted to ethernet and now it won't let me go back on wireless How do i disable ethernet?
I built a computer Asus P5Qpro mobo.Cannot get the Ethernet ccontroller working, have read some fixes in the forums, so far nothing has worked.The mobo has an Atheros ar8121/8113 controller.I've been to Atheros , asus sites Etc.
my wired auto ethernet stopped working. It doesn't appear to be my machine or the hub as the connection is fine using windows on the computer.I'm a bit clueless on the Networking front in Ubuntu. I've brought up the Network Connections box and checked that the Mac address is correct (and it is). I've tried it on Lubuntu and Openbox, but still no luck. The only oddity I see is that the Network Connections box says that the auto ethernet connection has never been used .
I have installed ubuntu 10.6.4 in my dell inspiron laptop but my ethernet card is not working when I connect my lan cable to it. But it is working well in windows vista. How to load drivers for it.
