ubuntu16.04 Install I219-V network card driver Problem solving method

Workaround for no network connection after installing ubuntu16.04 LTS:

1. Check if the NIC driver is installed

Open terminal, enter Ifconfig–a, if the word "local loopback" appears, the NIC driver is not installed.

2. Check the network card model

Terminal input LSPCI, check the network card model, this article only for the I219-V network card driver.

3, download e1000e network card driver, https://downloadcenter.intel.com/zh-cn/download/15817?_ga=1.159975677.114505945.1484457019

Google found that e1000e can support the I2XX network card (see reference 1) because the official I219-V driver failed to install successfully.

4, copy the downloaded tar.gz file to the selected directory, such as using "/home/< User name >/e1000e" or "/usr/local/src/e1000e".

5. Unzip the file, <x.x.x>, which is the version number of the driver tar file:

Tar zxf e1000e-<x.x.x>.tar.gz

6. Switch to the driver src directory, where x.x.x<> is the version number of the driver tar file:

CD e1000e-x.x.x<>/src/

7. Compile the driver module (root user required):

Make install

8. Use the modprobe command to load the module:

Modprobe e1000e

If the network cable is plugged in, you will see that the networks are connected.
