I've tried Mint 20 and 19.3 without an Ethernet connection. Others mentioned the 5.40 kernel issue, suggesting a need to upgrade to 5.7.

The command displays the IP addresses assigned to your network interface. It shows which devices are connected and their associated IPs.

I experienced a Wi-Fi issue on 19.3. I needed to install a driver from GitHub. Now 20.4 seems better. Do you mean you don’t have a connection or the interface isn’t visible?

In Debian-based systems, the problem usually arises when the adapter name listed in the `ip` command doesn't align with the settings in `/etc/network/interfaces`.

You're missing a connection. The adapter indicates it's attempting to link, but isn't succeeding.

When you enter this command, it displays network details. 1: Looping back with UP and lower-up, MTU is 65536, default queue length is 1000, loopback address is 127.0.0.1, and it's valid forever. 2: Enp7s0 shows no carrier, broadcast, multicast, and is up with a 1500 MTU. It connects to fe80::3781:56d8:42d4:2b42/64 and is in a tentative state.

Did you try to activate it yourself? Execute the command: sudo ip link set enp7s0 up

Yeah, that doesn't do anything for me. The "tab" is switched to on/connect, but it just won't connect. I might give up until Mint gets a fix in. I don't care much for any other flavor of Linux.

Verify the device is running the appropriate driver using lshw. You can run it with either command. If you retrieve the bus details from lshw, check dmesg for related issues. In my setup the Ethernet controller appears at 00:19.0, but adjust the value in your command accordingly.
