Hello. First-time Qubes user, somewhat new to Linux.
I'm not able to connect to the network over Ethernet. In the system tray is a
red network icon with an x. If I click it and select "Wired connection", the
icon changes to two circling red dots (i.e. a "wait" icon). Occasionally a
message pops up saying "The network connection has been disconnected."
Eventually it gives up and goes back to the red network icon.
I'm able to connect to the network using the same computer with a different OS.
I tried replacing my cat-5 cable, but no luck.
The cat-5 cable connects to a wifi repeater, if that makes any difference. The
wifi repeater is programmed with the wifi network information; when I connect a
computer to it, it's typically treated like any other wired connection.
I'm using wifi, so I don't have a modem I can connect to. I do have a wifi USB
card, but I don't know how to make Qubes use that (I know how to attach USB
storage devices, but not this).
I'm running Qubes from a USB stick, if that makes any difference. I'm on the
same computer I used to install it.
I have an old Biostar TPower X79 mainboard.
When I look at the properties for sys-net, it shows the following device
attached:
0b:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411

I don't see any other network-related devices listed.

Last night for some reason ifconfig was listing my ethernet connection as
"ens5". Not sure why that happened but it seems to be gone now.
Thank you very much for any suggestions, and if I can provide any other info
just let me know.
