Pop os issues with Ethernet on Lenovo T460

[kingblind]

Hello,
I have pop os v20.10 and everything is working just great, except my ethernet adapter, it won't connect. I have a Lenovo T460. I'm sorry to be such a noob, but any idea how I can get the port working? the T460 uses a Intel PRO/1000 LAN Adapter.

Seem like something that would be supported. thanks in advance for the help!

Is this an upgrade from 20.04 LTS, or a fresh install of 20.10?

 

[kingblind]

This is a fresh install of v20.10. I have what I believe is the Intel Ethernet driver, but I don't know how to install it.

Also, I made live USB of 20.04 and 20.10 and neither one works with the Intel Ethernet adapter.
I believe this is the I219-V, or Intel Ethernet Connection I219-LM chip in the Lenovo T460

Did you see the System76 doc with links to related things?

 

[kingblind]

Yes, I'm aware of that. My issue is I don't know how to install the Intel I219-V Drivers
How do you install ethernet drivers in Pop Os?

Make backups of your system before installing drivers, kernels, or playing in BIOS.

I haven't had to install any of those Intel drivers, so I can't say for sure, but you can try this:

Download the driver you want. (Check latest on Intel website).

Extract or untar the downloaded file:
tar xfv <file-name>tar.gz

Go to src directory
cd /<path/to/file/src$

Compile and install
sudo make install

Reboot
reboot

First off, thanks again for your help. Here is what happened after the Sudo make install

Did you see the Intel installation doc?

 

[evertiro]

Can we take a quick step backwards? @kingblind can you post the output of `lspci | grep -i net` for me? It's not that I doubt you... just want specifics.

 

[kingblind]

kingblind@pop-os:~$ lspci | grep -i net

04:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 8260 (rev 3a)

and I'm trying to use this driver

Ok, if anyone can sort you out, it's @evertiro. Just wait for him.

Yes, I'm pointing at version 25.2 because of this,
Release 25.2 is the last release that contains the Linux e1000e driver.
Maintenance for this driver will be continued by the community.

(I did try 25.2 and 25.4)

 

[kingblind]

Fixed, Unbelievably I had a bad cable and it’s the one thing that I did not check... ugh.. Thank you so much for the support and your time , really love pop! Os !

 

[evertiro]

Lol! My next question was going to be regarding the "continued by the community" comment
