I am using wired but apparent the system doesn't see my card and I can't access admin mode in network settings.

It is highly unlikely that you have an ethernet card that was supported in an earlier release and is not supported now. It is very likely that the software for configuring your network is messing up. You should follow the advice given here.

Re: Attempted upgrade to 9.04

ok here goes Vinny- my card isRealtek RTL-8110SC/8169SC.
Mando_hacker following you link none of the software was installed so--none was removed. ifconfig showed only values for lo(?) no values for ethernet card.

Re: Attempted upgrade to 9.04

The kernel module (driver) for you network card is r8169. Run

lsmod | grep r8169

to see if it is loaded into the kernel. If it is all you need is to configure the network. To do that you would want to follow the rest of the directions in the link I sent you to edit /etc/network/interfaces and then run

sudo ifup eth0

. At that point you should have networking again.

The fact that none of the network-manager software was installed makes me almost certain that your system has not completely upgraded. Once you get networking you should run

sudo aptitude update

and if that gives no errors run

sudo aptitude -f install

. If that gives no errors you should run

sudo aptitude -f full-upgrade

. If that completes without error your system is up to date and in good shape.

Re: Attempted upgrade to 9.04

ok the results of the "lsmod | grep r8169"" command are as follows:

r8169 46596 0
mii 14464 1 r8169

Does this mean it is loaded or not?

Re: Attempted upgrade to 9.04

Yes that means it is loaded. lsmod lists the modules that are loaded into the kernel. and yours is in that list.
