So here's an interesting problem. My main server is an old(ish) Dell Optiplex 3010, running Ubuntu server 17.04 LTS. When I had set it up initially, I had my low profile GT610 in it, as I didn't need it anywhere else and it wasn't doing any harm being in the system. But I needed it for something, so I shut it down, and took it out. To my surprise when I rebooted, my ethernet stopped working! ifconfig only showed loopback, and even though lspci still sees the ethernet chip, I couldn't find anything obvious to get it to enable the adapter again (I guess it is disabled?). Any suggestions?
