it finally happened I'm done with USB-C to Ethernet on my Dell XPS and set up my old T430s which has an ethernet port with Ubuntu 20.04.2.0 LTS. All I do with that machine is router configurations, that's why I'm trying to use the ethernet port (wifi works but it won't help for my purposes.

If anyone knows how I can get ethernet enable in Ubuntu for the Lenovo T430s please let me know and again I do not wish to use any adapters.

Thank you in advance for your help :)

Best regards, KingsleyMidas

All I do with that machine is router configurations

I suggest that you connect the ethernet cable to a LAN port on the router. Find the address of the router from the user guide or Google fu. For example, the router I configured yesterday was 192.168.8.1.

On the Ubuntu machine, from the terminal:

ip addr show

Find the interface name for the ethernet; for example enp0s25.

Back to the terminal:

sudo ifconfig enp0s25 192.168.8.2 up

Open a browser and navigate to

The administration page of the router should appear.

Of course, substitute your details for those above.
