    Eth0 Disappeared?

    So I went to get on Kubuntu today after being off it for a week or two, and to my surprise, my network card was gone. I'm running K8.04 x64, and using this motherboard (Realtek 8111C onboard NIC). Being inexperienced with Linux drivers and hardware settings, I can't figure out how to enable it or find out what's wrong or anything. Any help would be lovely.
    Love &amp; Peace,<br />RealityRipple

    This is not a common situation, drivers are set at installation and they should be loaded on demand.
    In my case, the chipset used on my NIC is via rhine, so I can check the modules (drivers) are really loaded running

    lsmod | grep rhine

    If this tip does not help, have a second try

    lsmod | grep mii

    Any prints? no, perhaps your problem could be physical. Last year I had to change my NIC card, it was gone after a 4 years old short life...

    What about booting Kubuntu Live CD/DVD? does the NIC work?

      Sorry, should have mentioned this is a multi-boot computer and the NIC works fine on both Windows OS's...

      Tried both of those with no result... so I did a full lsmod instead and:

        Re: Eth0 Disappeared?

        humm, no drivers loaded for NICs.
        Listen, try posting 'lspci' please, just to have a look at it.

        I searched a little and seems there is a problem with that particular NIC.
        Check it here.
        Well, try to follow the instructions, specially what is written on the last posts. Daniel Serpell reports the thing works and good luck.

        PS: be patient, don't get mad. This is the price for choosing a door instead of being ruled by windows...
