Ethernet and Wireles not working after install

Hi there,

I have installes OpenSuse Leap / Xfce on my HTPC. It has an Intel H77 chipset ITX Motherboard with build in WiFi and Ethernet. I was able to do the wireless setup during install to pull the latest packages over my router/DSL.

After install, there is no Ethernet present at all (ifconfig sees lo and wlan0 but no eth; lspci|grep eth finds nothing; YaST “Hardware-Information” does not list any devices). The HTPC is connected from it’s on-board ethernet via a 1,5m patch cable to a managed netgear router, which in turn is connected to my FritzBox. All lights “green” on all devices. The Wlan is working, after some better antenna placement, but I would like to use the GigabitEthernet.

How do I proceed troubelshooting / what information do you need to help? This is all so … odd. On my Thinkpad-Laptop the same installation went perfectly smooth and it’s all working…

Thanks a lot :slight_smile:

Please post in Code-Tags:

/sbin/lspci -nnk | grep -iA3 net

Does not seem to list any Ehternet Adapter:

mitb@linux-we47:~> /sbin/lspci -nnk | grep -iA3 net
05:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 2230 [8086:0887] (rev c4)
    Subsystem: Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 2230 BGN [8086:4062]
    Kernel driver in use: iwlwifi
    Kernel modules: iwlwifi

Then search by yourselve with

/sbin/lspci -nnk

and post the Ethernet list.

Or to filter for network controller devices (PCI device class 02), you can use

/sbin/lspci -nnk|grep '\02'

This should enumerate any detected network devices as well

 /usr/sbin/hwinfo --netcard
