Re: Missing ethernet driver

Please use code tags, https://bbs.archlinux.org/help.php#bbcode

Your problem isn't related to any driver - the device itself doesn't show up (if there's supposed to be any)

1. What device (model/vendor) do you expect to be there?
2. Is there a parallel windows installation?
3. Please post a complete system journal

sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

Re: Missing ethernet driver

Hello Seth, thank to you response.

  1. I don´t know very well what is the device (model/vendor) that have to be there.

  2. I don't have any windows installation on my computer.

Re: Missing ethernet driver

Sorry cfr, but you suggestion is about a Wireless Network not Ethernet Network. I have search for a Ethernet Driver but nothing i've find.
I don't know if you can suggest my any driver a can install to solve the problem, please.

I don't mean operating system, I mean hardware. What computer do you have?

Re: Missing ethernet driver

I didn't make any suggestion about anything. I asked if that was your machine. The networking spec I quoted is given on the page I linked. I'm asking if that is the hardware you have and, if so, if that is the networking specification for it.

Re: Missing ethernet driver

So cfr nailed it and you should have a Realtek card. Not showing up in lspci, though, would make me guess it's either disabled in the firmware or it's broken.

Re: Missing ethernet driver

There's also no trace of 10ec (realtek vendor ID) in the journal.
Also no unaccounted PCI bus id.

The chip is either not there, fried, or, if any possible, deactivated in the firmware (BIOS)
But it's the hardware.

Assuming there's no such BIOS option:
Did the ethernet ever work?
Did you get the notebook 2nd hand?
Did you ever open it?

Re: Missing ethernet driver

When i had kali linux in my computer, internet connection worked well. But i don't know if it was immediately, but from i install archlinux i never connected to a wire connection.
I say that i don't know if it was immediately, becuase it's not until recently that i noticed that my computer can´t connect to a ethernet network. And also, i remember that in the past, with archlinux, i typed a command that which showed me the list of components installed in the machine and i saw ethernet card there, so i don´t think that the chip is not there o it's spent.

Re: Missing ethernet driver

Boot a live distro of your choice and see whether the NIC shows up - but an invariable reality of life is that things work until they don't.
And the chip does not show up, at all. It's not a "missing driver" issue for sure.

Re: Missing ethernet driver

Yes, it's work. I jus try with a USB adapter to an ethernet cable and the wire network work fine. So i think is problem of my ethernet port driver.

Re: Missing ethernet driver

Repeat after me: This. Is not. A driver. Problem.

There's no ethernet PCI chip showing up in your journal.
So no driver can pick it up.
Because it's not there.

Post the output of "lspci" in the working system, ideally also the system journal.
Please use code tags.

Re: Missing ethernet driver

Leaving aside that there's less chance in a randomly capped journal: where do you see an ethernet device in that journal or lspci output?
The. Chip. Is. Not. There.


Edit: the journal is from your arch installation, though?
The plan was to look at the journal and lspci of a working system

Re: Missing ethernet driver

The journal output if from my current system: archlinux.
When do you say Chip, what do you mean ? There are any action i can do to solve the problem?

Good afternoon!

Re: Missing ethernet driver

Yeah, you're supposed to provide a journal from a system where you claim the ethernet NIC ("the chip") is available.
Because there's no trace of such HW in anything you've provided so far.

Re: Missing ethernet driver

Sorry if I'm being redundant. But, i think that the ethernet NIC is there, because i can connect my computer to a wire connection using a Ethernet adapter (type-USB).
I think that the really problem is about the ethernet port of my computer, i don't know if i don't have the driver necessary or the port don't work anymore

Re: Missing ethernet driver

I'm guessing there's some kind of language barrier here, as you don't seem to be getting what people are telling you. Maybe find some help in your native language?

Re: Missing ethernet driver

I assume there is an RJ-45 connector on your computer.
That connector goes to a piece of hardware called a PHY. (Physical layer)
The PHY is connected internally to something called a MAC (Media Access Control)
(https://wiki.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Linksys_EA6300)
The MAC connects to a bus on your computer.   It usually connects to the PCIe bus, but it could connect to an internal USB bus.  There are a few other options too.
A lot of things can go wrong.  The PHY can get fried, the link between the PHY and the MAC can fail.

But, unless the processor can 'see' the MAC on a bus, nothing will work.   That is the case here.  The system does not detect a MAC.   There is no MAC in anything you have shared with us.  The kernel does not know what driver to load because, as far as it can tell, you have no MAC that requires a driver.  The MAC is missing.  It is not there.  The kernel is oblivious to its presence.   

One does not need a driver to be able to detect a MAC on a bus -- that comes later.

But, why would a MAC not show up on the bus?  It could be unplugged or dislodged.  There could be a bad solder joint.  It could be that there is just a connector on the case that was never connected to anything on the motherboard because there is no MAC on the motherboard.   There is even the remote chance that the BIOS / uEFI firmware is being evil and is hiding it from you if you are not running Windows.

If you ask about a driver again before we find if a MAC is installed, and what MAC (chip) it is, and we can see it in the list of things visible to the processor on a bus -- I will assume this either trolling or a language issue.
