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](https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/how-to-install-wifi-driver-for-d-link-dwa-131-usb-dongle/5302/22), 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: ````auto [jacqueline@jacqueline-h310mh20 ~]$ lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 8th/9th Gen Core 8-core Desktop Processor Host Bridge/DRAM Registers [Coffee Lake S] (rev 0d) 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation UHD Graphics 630 (Desktop 9 Series) (rev 02) 00:08.0 System peripheral: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v5/v6 / E3-1500 v5 / 6th/7th/8th Gen Core Processor Gaussian Mixture Model 00:14.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation 200 Series/Z370 Chipset Family USB 3.0 xHCI Controller 00:16.0 Communication controller: Intel Corporation 200 Series PCH CSME HECI #1 00:17.0 SATA controller: Intel Corporation 200 Series PCH SATA controller [AHCI mode] 00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 200 Series PCH PCI Express Root Port #5 (rev f0) 00:1c.5 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 200 Series PCH PCI Express Root Port #6 (rev f0) 00:1c.6 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 200 Series PCH PCI Express Root Port #7 (rev f0) 00:1c.7 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 200 Series PCH PCI Express Root Port #8 (rev f0) 00:1d.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 200 Series PCH PCI Express Root Port #11 (rev f0) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation Device a2ca 00:1f.2 Memory controller: Intel Corporation 200 Series/Z370 Chipset Family Power Management Controller 00:1f.3 Audio device: Intel Corporation 200 Series PCH HD Audio 00:1f.4 SMBus: Intel Corporation 200 Series/Z370 Chipset Family SMBus Controller 04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

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: ```auto 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. ---
