I have installed Ubuntu 20.10 on a dedicated SSD on my computer (Windows 10 is installed on another drive). But my network card (only ethernet, no wifi) is not detected and I cannot access internet. I have a Gigabyte B550 Aorus Pro which integrates a Realtek RTL8125 2.5Gb network card. The closest topic I could find is this Question for similar problem on Ubuntu server 20.04, i tried the proposed solutions but to no avail.

I have also tried installing Ubuntu 20.04 LTS with same results.

Is there something that I can do, or due to my "too recent" network card I can forget about Ubuntu supporting it?

If I was you, I'd order a simple ($15 or so) dedicated network card to bridge the time until your on-board network adapter is properly supported by the kernel.

  • How can I make sure an USB ethernet adapter will be well recognised by Ubuntu (being offline)? Thanks – Wil Gavi Mar 10 '21 at 11:25
  • You can't be absolutely sure, of course, but most of those simple USB devices use older chipsets that tend to be well-supported. If you are lucky, one of the reviewers on the shop website already wrote that it works with Linux. – HuHa Mar 10 '21 at 12:21
