Ethernet Not Working, Intel e1000e 82578DC rev 06

[jerryc]

Just did an LL install on a Win7 box and now we have no ethernet access. Fortunately, we have wifi working on it.

Here's what I got:

Code:

lspci | grep -i ethernet
00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82578DC Gigabit Network Connection (rev 06)

I tried googling it, but I couldn't find any simple instructions that work. Intel has a driver here:

https://downloadcenter.intel.com/downloa...duct=55351

but, even with some nix experience, I couldn't follow the instructions. They talk about building an .rpm, but I've been a .deb guy for way too many years.

I tried the instructions here:

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/...ducts.html

Here's what I got:

Code:

Does anybody know a simple step by step guide to make this work on LL?

Thank you.
