    Wired Access Error, wireless working great. High Packets Dropped, overflow, overrun

    Hi Everyone, so I've scoured the internet for help on this problem, and so far I haven't had any success with the remedies.

    I've tried:
    Updating Kali and re-installing kernel headers.

    Setting interface into promiscuous mode.

    Pings get to ~10 successful pings after connecting to a wired connection. I assume this is the time to fully switch over from wireless to wired.

    Here is the output from lspci -v about the eth0 adapter

    08:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR8152 v1.1 Fast Ethernet (rev c1)
    Subsystem: Toshiba America Info Systems Device ff1e
    Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 17
    Memory at d1000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=256K]
    I/O ports at 2000 [size=128]
    Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 3
    Capabilities: [48] MSI: Enable- Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+
    Capabilities: [58] Express Endpoint, MSI 00
    Capabilities: [6c] Vital Product Data
    Capabilities: [100] Advanced Error Reporting
    Capabilities: [180] Device Serial Number ff-b7-5a-a3-00-26-6c-ff
    Kernel driver in use: atl1c

    here's the output from ifconfig eth0

    eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:26:6c:b7:5a:a3
    BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
    RX packets:4099 errors:0 dropped:31512 overruns:31512 frame:31512

    RX bytes:386183 (377.1 KiB) TX bytes:57377 (56.0 KiB)

    Thanks guys. I'm a Kali newbie, using it for a class in school, and I took the initiative to install it on my machine instead of just using the school's computers.

    Try reloading network services: service networking reload or /etc/init.d/networking reload

    See if you got a valid ip: ifconfig -a

    If no ip yet, run the dhclient: dhclient eth0

    Now see if you have an ip: ifconfig -a

    Please post your /etc/network/interfaces file.
