I have a Lubuntu installed on a Mac Mini with dual boot.
$ uname -a
Linux platolinux 4.15.0-47-generic #50-Ubuntu SMP Wed Mar 13 10:44:52 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Wifi can connect without problems, but Ethernet connection does NOT work
When I boot, the ethernet interface seems to be down. When I start the computer and check hardware with lshw I get the ethernet interface as DISABLED
$ sudo lshw -c network -sanitize

I bring it up with
sudo ip link set dev enp3s0f0 up
then I get this
$ ip link show

checking network interfaces says that the ethernet interface () does not get a ipv4
$ ifconfig

Any help will be appreciated, I have been three days reading and searching without success
