Yep, me too (ethernet problem)
#1

Help!
Since the original installation, I've always been connected via wi-fi on my LL computer.
Today I want to go the ethernet way, but LL is not finding my ethernet connector, wether “eth” or “enp” both are nowhere to be found.
If I type
Code:
ifconfig
it will only acknowledge lo: and wlp1s0:.
Code:
# nmcli dev status
will return this info:
DEVICE  TYPE        STATE          CONNECTION       
wlp1s0    wifi          connected    Nyt0s-W1-F1
lo            loopback unmanaged  --


I tried ifdown/ifup eth0 but the computer still can't find the interface.
A lot of the helpful commands are useless if the machine thinks there's not an interface there, so how could I "activate" the interface first so I can go on and configure it?
Pathological tweaker.

Is your cable plugged into your machine and a signal source? Just open network manager and turn on wired. You either have it turned off, or you've never used it, or nothing's plugged in, or all three. Your NIC is there or you wouldn't have wifi. Run: lspci  The card should show up. Why are you running nmcli from root?
