From one day to the next my ethernet stopped working, while it still works fine on Windows (dual-boot system).

here's what I've tried:

sudo lshw -C network
 *-network UNCLAIMED
   description: Ethernet controller
   product: RTL8111/8168/8211/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller
   ...

I tried to restart networking from /etc/init.d but it's not there, so I guess package ifupdown is missing.

I see the exact version I need is ifupdown_0.8.41ubuntu1_amd64.deb but I can just find up to 0.8.35 on mirror sites. I downloaded it on a pendrive and tried to install but dpkg complains about conflicts with debianutils.

Any idea on how to get the right version of the package or how to restore networking differently?

Rename the file /etc/resolv.conf

  • cd /etc
  • sudo mv resolv.conf resolv_bckp

and restart
