Network Reset
so i tried installing a wireless driver for my wireless ethernet, from source code, and it ended up being worse than the default. i have removed the one from source code but it is still acting up. how can i reinstall and use the default? I used sudo make uninstall to remove the one I installed from source but it feels like it is still the one in use.

I suggest avoiding the guessing and running "ethtool -i". You may have to install ethtool. Find the name of the interface with "ls /sys/class/net" (or say, ifconfig or ip link show). F.ex.:Originally posted by Oderus View PostWhen I was mucking around with the driver, I used modprobe -r to remove the driver. That would kill the internet connection, and I worry that if you don't have the older one ready to go you might get no ethernet.Code:$ ls /sys/class/net enp0s31f6 lo $ ethtool -i enp0s31f6 driver: e1000e version: 3.4.2.1-NAPI firmware-version: 0.8-4 expansion-rom-version: bus-info: 0000:00:1f.6 supports-statistics: yes supports-test: yes supports-eeprom-access: yes supports-register-dump: yes supports-priv-flags: no
