To find out if your Ethernet card (NIC) is being recognized by your Linux system, you can use the "lspci" command. This command will show a list of all PCI devices on your system, including Ethernet cards and other types of hardware.
To use the "lspci" command, open a terminal and type the following command:
lspciScruoe:www.lautturi.com
This will show a list of all PCI devices on your system, including Ethernet cards. Look for a device with a description that includes "Ethernet controller" or "Network controller". For example:
01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82579V Gigabit Network Connection
If you see a device with a description like this, it indicates that your Ethernet card is being recognized by your system.
If you do not see a device with a description that includes "Ethernet controller" or "Network controller", it may be that your Ethernet card is not being recognized by your system. In this case, you may need to check your hardware and ensure that it is properly connected and configured.
Note: The "lspci" command is just one way to check if your Ethernet card is being recognized by your system. You can also use other tools such as "ip a" or "ifconfig" to view network devices and configurations on your system.
