Re: No wired connection during install

My problem solved! the driver r8169 works now.
my laptop is lenovo E440 with RTL8111/8168/8411 PCIe Ethernet Controller (rev 10)

first

ethtool -s enp4s0 autoneg off

then the interface start to work (down -> up) and get an IPV6 addr.

I typed

dhcpcd

or

dhclient

, but it still cannot get an IPV4 addr.
I used a suggested command to check the log

journalctl -xn

which said "dhclient no broadcast interfaces found".
The first result from google is https://lists.isc.org/pipermail/dhcp-us … 16584.html.
so i tried like this

dhclient enp4s0

, then it got an IPV4 addr!
I don't know if systemctl enable dhcpcd@enp4s0 would work. I will not try any more....and I dont know why it works!

Through goggle I find the r8168/r8169 problems exists as early as 2008. It's really an annoying and disappointing problem.
