Hey all
you need to install ethtool, run the command again and post the output:
sudo apt-get install ethtool Is there a way that I can remotly download a package for a machine, since I can't browse the web with my amd machine, since the ethernet connection is down?
You certainly can - use "-d"/"--download-only" as an argument for apt-get ... Of course, that assumes that you have a machine that is running the same release that you are trying to get going. (Failing that it is possible to download the deb files and then transport them, use dpkg to install the deb packages) As an aside - do you have any way of verifying that the link is being detected ie. Check the link light on the switch / on board NIC is working. This didn't occur to me until after Daniels email. Cheers, Wazzä
