I've used Windows, and decided to use Ubuntu and installed on my pc. But Network is not working. I've researched this problem, and reached following result.

$sudo lshw -C network

I've seen many similiar post like this, but any didn't solved.

I've tried to update driver, use bootutil, but nothing not work. What's the solution?

bootutil's result is as follows.

$sudo ./bootutil64e -NIC 1 -defcfg

The NVM for your Intel 82579LM Gigabit Network Connection is corrupt.

The Intel® Ethernet Flash Firmware Utility (BootUtil) is used to update configurations and program the PCI option ROM on the flash memory of supported Intel PCI and PCI-Express-based network adapters.

Please download Intel's utility to fix this, from here, read the included docs, and the docs on the web site, then do this...

cd APPS/BootUtil/Linux_x64
chmod +x ./bootutil64e
sudo ./bootutil64e -NIC 1 -defcfg

Update #1:

Because of this bootutil error:

ERROR: -DEFCFG not allowed when combo image is present in flash

Try sudo ./bootutil64e -NIC=1 -UP=Combo, or download the Windows updater from here and do it from Windows.

Update #2:

Windows updater downloaded from here.

I've solved by installing the complete driver for intel network adapter on . And then restart to ubuntu, it fantastically works.

to install the Intel drivers I suggest also to download them from sourceforge: this latest version 3.8.7 was not available on the intel site. Then before running the command "make install" be sure to install:

sudo apt install build-essential

this will avoid ERROR 2
