I found out what my problem was that prevents me from getting on the net.
I have an ASRock mother board and the LAN card is integrated into it and it is a Realtek RTL8111GR and the driver that Mint loaded is the wrong driver.
Looked at driver in Mint and also the one Loaded in windows.
My query is this.
I have spare PCIE slots on my board and I was wondering is it possible to install another LAN card and make the integrated LAN card redundant just like the on board integrated graphics card and sound cards.
If it is possible to do so "What are some of the better cards that are compatible with Linux and other non-windows distros?"
Any ideas welcomed in working around this bit of a bother. Cheers.
