No wired internet

General system Newbie

Good morning. I got a new Pc, it has a wifi adapter that has this chip Realtek RTL8192EU chip. I searched and followed a forum post, How to install WiFi driver for D-Link DWA 131 (USB Dongle) - #22 by flyingcakes, it worked perfectly and now I am connected to wifi. But now the wired connection disappeared. I would like if possible to have both available.
Here is some information, please tell me if more is needed:

Hi!
Since my PC is in a different room, I cannot verify if ethernet is working on my device. (no long ethernet wires in my house)

Could you post output of these two commands:

inxi -nxxx

ifconfig -a

Realtek’s r8168 is funny.
Check:

lsmod | grep r816

If you have package r8168 installed, you can try uninstalling it and reboot.

Sorry for the delay. I am updating and it’s terribly slow. I should have refreshed mirrors but I am afraid to interrupt now. As soon as it finishes I’ll provide the requested information.

No hurry, take your time! :smile:

Hi, thank you. I tried to remove r8168, I’ll see after a reboot if there’s any change.
The other command no result
[jacqueline@jacqueline-h310mh20 ~]$ lsmod | grep r816
[jacqueline@jacqueline-h310mh20 ~]$

After the reboot the wired connection reappeared¡¡¡
Thank you¡
