Public bug reported: Ethernet doesn't work on ASUS NUC 14 Essential with Intel Core 3 N355 CPU and Ubuntu 24.04.2 without patching it.
I got mine to work by following the instructions provided by Jeremy31 on my Topic https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/rtl8125-2-5gbe-ethernet-port-not-working- in-ubuntu-24-04/55551 Here is the series of commands I followed, and the NUC's Ethernet has been working fine, at 1Gbps at least, ever since (about a week, through several shutdown/reboots). I am not good enough at Linux to understand what these commands did. sudo apt install git git clone https://github.com/notpeelz/r8125.git cd r8125/src make Ignore some errors, then zstd r8125.ko sudo cp r8125.ko.zst /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/realtek/ echo "blacklist r8169" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/r8169.conf sudo depmod -a Reboot Jeremy31 also commented, "It really isn’t up to ASUS as it is a Realtek ethernet device and support has been added to newer upstream kernels to support more of the RTL8125 variants in the r8169 kernel module. I am not real familiar with r8169 but I wonder if they could just pull all the recent upstream commits and have more devices function with r8169 in the Ubuntu kernels" System -> About: Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS In case this helps: There are many, _many_ similar complaints on many forums etc.. I think, for example, this one on a Plugable device is related: https://support.plugable.com/t/wired-network-does-not-work-on- ubuntu-24-04/25555 I wrote to them and they replied, in part, "As for our ethernet adapters that use the Realtek chipsets we currently only use the RTL8153B for our Gigabit ethernet adapter, and the RTL8156B for our 2.5 Gigabit ethernet adapter." If I can help further, please call or text my smartphone at 651.440.4328, or email me.
