I'm trying to set up Ubuntu for the first time and I'm getting a weird problem with the network.
My network card is onboard the CROSSHAIR-VI. It's an Intel i211 I believe. I've downloaded the latest drivers from here on the Intel downloads site, and copied them via usb stick to the new Ubuntu machine. I followed the instructions in the README and was able to make install
, and find the resulting file: /lib/modules/.../updates/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/igb/igb.ko
I then tried
sudo rmmod igb
and
sudo modprobe igb
After that I was hoping it would just connect to the DHCP on its own. It does seem to do so, but as before it then drops the connections after about 0.5 seconds.
I installed Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS from a USB stick.
