Wired Network Doesn't Work Correctly
Live CD and installation have working network connection.
After install ... network connection is offline ... won't connect!
No automatic configuration ... aka DHCP doesn't work.
Static configuration allows it to connect to network (so it says) but unable to ping my DSL router hence NIC isn't working properly. It will ping the Loopback and it's own static IP address and that's it.
Router also doesn't see it connected to network!
I've disable IPv6 ... still no luck.
I've tried the command ...
dhclient eth0 ... still no luck.
service network-manager restart ... still no luck.
ifconfig shows static IP configuration and IPv6 disable.
My guess is the installed network driver is different from the Live CD and Installation version ... how retarded is that!
Ok ... seeing how I have no internet connection on this machine ... how in the heck do I manually install a network driver for a dual boot Intel Mac Mini (2009 model)?
I've been searching for an answer for 3 days now ... seen the same problem numerous times posted all over the internet ... yet to find an solution to the problem =)
BTW ... in OSX ... network functions flawlessly so it's not a hardware or network problem.
Also ... seeing how this OS has driver issues among other things ... would it kill someone to create a GUI Device Manager that installs with the OS ... be nice to be to manage device drivers without going into the terminal ... just a thought.
