The ethernet seems to work correctly, from BIOS (wire test capabilities) and from ubuntu the LED blinks.
But the connexion couldn't be etablished, so I decide to upgrade to Realtek's last driver, which didn't solve anything more. I've also tried to boot from a 12-04.4 LTS usb-key, and get the same problem (have a look @ joined file). ** Attachment added: "idem under 12-04.4 usb-key test" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1314816/+attachment/4102432/+files/RTL8111-12.04.4.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1314816 Title: 10ec:8168 [Gigabyte H61N-USB3] Realtek R8111E not connecting to DHCP on Trusty Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I am trying GIGABYTE motherboard (H61N-USB3) with a RTL8111E chip, with the latest BIOS version (giving RTL8111F), and I installed the "new driver" proposed by REALTEK (r8168-8.038.00, builded on 2014/01/08).
