Back Story: I built a new computer, using the MSI Z490 A Pro motherboard. It comes with a RTL8125 2.5G Ethernet Controller. I decided to install Ubuntu 20.04 for this build. This distro doesn't seem to come with necesssary driver for this controller. I don't have wifi either. If part of solution is tethering with bluetooth I could give that a shot, but I would prefer to learn with driver from usb stick if possible. I have no Linux or programming experience, except a bit of front-end web dev., so you're dealing with a novice, but I started to read and learn about Ubuntu and linux, so far I got the thing installed and I'm getting to know commands, command prompt, terminal in general. I believe I would know how to get it going with clear step-by-step instructions, I have a generally good grasp of the basics of how its structured (if I qualify to say that, lol). Typing in terminal lspci -knn | grep Eth -A3  I get the name of my Ethernet controller, RTL8125 2.5G ...and also it shows at bottom: kernel modules: r8169. Typing in terminal: sudo lshw -C network  says: network unclaimed  and shows Ethernet Controller RTL8125 info. Here is the link to realtek website:  On the Realtek website there is a driver for RTL8125 for linux. I tried following instructions, however they assume people are experts, or info ommited. But I got stuck on third step.. First step: unpack the tarball, Second step: &quot;Change to the directory: # cd r8125-8.aaa.bb&quot; Third step:  If you are running the target kernel, then you should be able to do: # ./autorun.sh  So I decided to make a new directory and put all content of driver(r8125-8.aaa.bb) in it. New directory path: ~/Downloads/Drivers Then I used chmod 777 in terminal to give executive permissions to all files from driver folder. Then I tried to do third step and didn't seem to work. Is there something I need to do with NetworkManager directory? Should I make a new kernel module somehow? What about dkms? What does that have to do with this problem?

So I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 20.04 on a computer with the new RTL8125B Realtek network card and I cannot get the network to work. I was very suprised since this is supposed to be the new feature of the 5.4 kernel (I have 5.4.0-26-generic installed). Does anyone have any idea on how to get it working? Thank you. $ lspci -knn | grep Eth -A3 06:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8125 2.5GbE Controller [10ec:8125] (rev 04) Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.

I had this working on Elementary but then it stopped so I switched to Ubuntu and I still can not get this driver installed and working.   I followed this tutorial    As well as using the same install file but sudo bash install. I keep getting this error and output:   make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=/home/alyson/Downloads/MT7630E-release/rt2x00 modules make[1]: Entering directory '/usr/src/linux-headers-4.4.0-28-generic'   Building modules, stage 2.

I have installed the new Ubuntu 14.10 on my Dell Inspiron 3521.  I was able to use my wifi in the Boot Live Stage and during the Installation phase by enabling the BroadCom BCM 43142 proprietary drivers.  But after installation I can't enable the proprietary drivers.  I can see the drivers listed there and when I select the option to use them and click Apply, the progress bar starts going ahead but stops in process and the 'Do not use them' option gets reselected.  I have searched some questions here according to which I must connect my laptop with an ethernet cable to get my wifi drivers working.  But I don't have any ethernet cable at present with me. I can only use the wifi on my second laptop.  Is there any other way to get the drivers working or Is there any offline installer like a .deb file for the drivers?  If anyone knows, please help!  I've reinstalled ubuntu thrice but the problem remains same.

I am unable to connect to the internet via Ethernet or WiFi.  Let's fix the Ethernet issue, eh?  I just installed Ubuntu 12.04 on an HP Mini 1000.  Previously it had 11.04, and the Ethernet didn't have any issues then.  I am a Linux beginner, and I have been working on this issue for the past several days without any progress.

I just installed Ubuntu on my laptop with a RTL8723BE adapter and the Wi-Fi is really spotty.  Sometimes available wireless networks won't even show up in the menu, and other times just the network in my household will show up and just barely function (I can ping, sites like Stack Exchange usually manage to load, etc.)  I saw online some people suggest in a terminal entering echo "options rtl8723be fwlps=N ips=N" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8723be.conf and rebooting, but it didn't work.  I saw someone suggest updating the driver with:  sudo apt-get install build-essential git git clone https://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new/ cd rtlwifi_new make sudo make install sudo modprobe -r rtl8723be sudo modprobe rtl8723be   Rebooted, and it still didn't work.  I also found this, and it didn't work:  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:hanipouspilot/rtlwifi  sudo apt-get update  sudo apt-get install rtlwifi-new-dkms linux-firmware   I have no problems with Windows on this laptop. Do I just have to accept I can't use Ubuntu on it?

I have an old Compaq desktop that my children use to access the internet. The kids have repeatedly managed to severely infect the computer with viruses, and this latest round has been a doozy. A friend recently sold me on Ubuntu as a great windows replacement since it is not prone to viruses, so I decided to to give it a go.  I completely overwrote windows with Ubuntu 12.04 to get rid of the viruses, but I can not figure out how to make the wireless network dongle work. I have Googled the topic and tried to go through some of the solutions, but I don't know what I'm doing and I think I may be making things worse. Can someone help me with this? I know NOTHING about Linux and most of the instructions aren't written for someone like me.

I'm preparing for a trip where I can't bring my desktop, so I recently broke out my trusty old laptop (Dell Latitude E4300) to get it ready for the trip. Previously, I had Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on the machine and there were no problems with wifi or the computer in general. My original problem came when I tried to upgrade to Ubuntu 14.04, which failed halfway through and long story short: I couldn't get it to work. I then installed Lubuntu 14.04 (It's a moderately old laptop and I had never tried Lubuntu, so why not) and it's going great, except, I can't connect to my wifi and since this will be my only method of access on my vacation, I really need to fix it. I'm kinda at a cross roads since I've never had this problem with this laptop. Any help would be great.   The output of "lspci -nvn | grep -i net" Says the wifi card is a "Broadcom Corporation BCM4322 802.11a/b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller [14e4:432b] (rev 01)"  I have looked at many other similar questions, but they're all very old and none have helped. Sorry if you guys get this a lot.  EDIT: Here is the link to the requested diagnostics (See comment by user "wild man"_

I've just decided to jump into the world of Ubuntu, so far I encountered no problems until I tried to connect to my wireless network. I'm running Ubuntu on my laptop, Acer Aspire 5333-2880, which has an Acer Nplify 802.11b/g/n wireless card.  After browsing for an answer, I think the problem is a missing driver. input:   lspci | grep Network   output:     02:00.0 Network controller; Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01)   I found a couple of answers that might be right, but I have problems with both of them.    It requires me to load the site in my laptop, but I can't do it without internet and I have no idea how to save this into a USB.  But I have no idea how to really run or use this, and I wouldn't like to screw it up.    Any advice or other possible solutions will be greatly appreciated!   EDIT.  Thanks a lot for your input Marko and Jorge. I am sure the problem was with one of the drivers, but I was too distracted, or tired yesterday to realize I didn't restart my computer after installing. As soon as I got turned on my computer again, it was working. Annoyingly, I am not sure what the problem was exactly nor what exactly fixed it.  But still, thanks a lot Marko for the intel on how to build packages, I am sure it will be very useful later on!

I bought the wireless adapter to use with a computer without internet access but I can't figure out how to install it with just a USB with the driver on it. I've read a few articles on how to install the driver but they all require me to have internet access and I don't have internet. I'm completely new to Ubuntu. If you can help that would be great. Thanks!  Ps: I have the latest version of Ubuntu as of 7-5-16.

Perhaps it's a silly question but I've recently purchased a new motherboard and of course it came with a CD with it's drivers only for Windows systems (you know, the Autorun cr@p and all that)  So, should I somehow try to obtain these drivers from the vendor for my Linux system or is that not necessary since the OS installation will take care of it by itself?

I was trying to follow instructions provided in this  AFAIU bcmwl-kernel-source is a proper driver for me. But after installation nothing changed. By "nothing changed" I mean iwconfig shows only eth0 and l0 with no wireless extensions, rfkill list all contains hci0: Bluetooth.   I found that bcm43xx was blacklisted in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf, after commenting this line and removing previously installed driver I repeated the same actions. The result was the same.   The line above the bcm43xx in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf file says "replaced by b43 and ssb". So I have removed previously installed driver again and edited back blacklist.conf.  I installed firmware-b43-installer, b43 was listed in the lsmod, but I am still was not be able to see any wlan in iwconfig.

I have a Dell PowerEdge T710 I'm trying to run as a home server. I have successfully installed Devuan, however I failed to set up the network properly. I'm wondering if there's any way to add the non-free network drivers for its Broadcom Limited NetXtreme II BCM5709 Gigabit Ethernet controller. I'm also open to reinstalling, but if I'm gonna do that I'd like some guidance on adding the proper network firmware to the installation image. I'm also open to giving up and using the debian non free net install iso. (I'm using Devuan to play with other init systems eventually but its not super important that I stay with this distribution)

My Laptop (HP Laptop 14-ck1xxx) came with the RTL8821CE Network Controller. When I run lspci | grep Network I get: 03:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8821CE 802.11ac PCIe Wireless Network Adapter  I‘m unable to get the Wi-Fi to work. What I did so far:  Download the repo at . Unzip the file and rename the folder from rtl8821ce-master to rtl8821ce.
