Hi there everyone, I'm trying a little experiment and wanted to test out CentOS 7 on an older Macbook that I'm not using. I've got it installed and the WiFi is working fine but I cannot get the wired connection to come up. ifconfig shows no eth0 or wired device and lspci -nn | grep -i net shows me an nVidia ethernet adapter. Anyone know what's up?
Thanks!
Wired connection not detected after installation of CentOS 7
Re: Wired connection not detected after installation of Cent
I don't know, but I can make some suggestions:
- ifconfig is still there but is deprecated
- wired interface is disabled by default in the installer
- it may not be called eth0 anymore (mine has a funny long name)
Re: Wired connection not detected after installation of Cent
nvidia ethernet sounds like the forcedeth kernel module which was removed from el7. If you google ELRepo they have a kmod-forcedeth that can re-enable that driver.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

Thanks, that solved the problem. Installed kmod-forcedeth and now the wired connection is picked up.TrevorH wrote:nvidia ethernet sounds like the forcedeth kernel module which was removed from el7. If you google ELRepo they have a kmod-forcedeth that can re-enable that driver.
