Hey,
I swapped laptops with my co-worker this afternoon but kept the harddrive to avoid installation of Kali Linux again. However when the "new laptop" boots up, I found wired connection is showing disconnected...I have the cable connected and tested. I also did following:
test@new-laptop:~$ ethtool -i eth0
driver: e1000e
version: 2.1.4-k
firmware-version: 0.3-0
bus-info: 0000:00:19.0
supports-statistics: yes
supports-test: yes
supports-eeprom-access: yes
supports-register-dump: yes
supports-priv-flags: no
I put the following configure into /etc/network/interfaces
auto eth0
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
and then run "sudo ifdown eth0; sudo ifup eth0". The output are like:
ifdown: interface eth0 not configured
