I've searched all related questions to this topic, to no avail. I've got an ethernet card on my laptop, but the connection will not work. I checked in the BIOS, and the card is enabled. I can't undestand why mncli list my ethernet connection as "unavailable"... Here are below the results of different command I used to investigate the issue. I used Linux Mint on a Dell Latitude e5520. Any advise highly appreciated. Best regards, MC
