Greetings,
UI have an HP Pavilion g6 running Ubuntu 16.10 alongside
Windows 8.
On Windows, both ethernet and wifi work fine. On Ubuntu, they
worked fine... until a few weeks ago, when they both stopped working
without apparent cause (e.g. sw upgrades). None I can remember, that
is: in fact, since I got on vacation and then did not need the laptop
for a while, I never worked on that problem.
Today I did, and found out that
lspci -k | grep -EA2 'Eth|Net' does list both Wifi chip (Broadcom
Corporation BCM4313, and the Ethernet controller (Realtek RFL8101)
but networkctl -a only lists the lo interface, and
/etc/init.d/networking status -l reports this error (copied manually,
so there may be some typos):
execstartpre=/(bin/sh -c [ "CONFIGURE_INTERFACES" != ] && [ -n
"$(ifquery --read-environment --list --exclude=lo)" ] && udevadm settle
(code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)
in fact, "ifquery --read-environment --list --exclude=lo" yelds nothing.
I **have** already looked into similar threads like this, for example:
https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2324354
but found nothing that solves the problem, or helps to find out more.
Thoughts? Thanks,
Marco
