Udev should detect your network interface controller (NIC) and automatically load the necessary kernel module at startup. Check the "Ethernet controller" entry (or similar) from the lspci -v output. It should tell you which kernel module contains the driver for your network device. $ lspci -v 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Attansic Technology Corp. For example:Ītl1 0000:02:00.0: eth0 link is up 100 Mbps full duplex Next, check that the driver was loaded by running dmesg | grep module_name as root. Skip the next section if the driver was loaded successfully. Otherwise, you will need to know which module is needed for your particular model. Search the internet for the right module/driver for your chipset. Some common modules are 8139too for cards with a Realtek chipset, or sis900 for cards with a SiS chipset. Once you know which module to use, try to load it manually. If you get an error saying that the module was not found, verify first if you recently upgraded the kernel (see General troubleshooting#Cannot use some peripherals after kernel upgrade).
