It has been my understanding that only one network mode could be active

qt one time. On my old W700 laptop I could use the RJ45 connection at

my desk, then disconnect the live laptop and take it to the dining room

or wherever. Once disconnected from the RJ45, a WiFi connection was

automatically spawned. Whe I returned to my desk and reconnected the

RJ45 cable, the WiFi shut down and the copper Ethernet was reactivated.

The wifi shouldn't be disconnected when the ethernet is, but the 

ethernet will have a higher priority. Unless the wifi is on a different 

subnet and that's where you're sending a packet to, it will go out on 

the ethernet connection.  I often have my dhcp set up to give my wifi 

and ethernet the same ip address.  That way I can switch between the two 

without losing connections.

I'll take your word for it Sam. I'm still unable to communicate thru the RJ45 port with my currently installed package(s) / configuration.

Unless someone can suggest a true fix, I'm still facing a package remove/replace situation. Which ones??? Otherwise my only solution would be a scorched disk total removal and replacement of the entire system.

Well.....  I still don't think enough information has been supplied.

If you do a

nmcli connection   

you should see an "ethernet" entry.

Example, on my system...

NAME            UUID                                  TYPE      DEVICE

enp2s0          22f19ca8-c33d-31ea-9a32-a4b1309d0b06  ethernet  enp2s0

And then do...

nmcli connection show (device-name)

Ed,

# nmcli connection

...

eth0: unavailable

        "Intel Ethernet"

        ethernet (e1000e), E8:6A:64:35:53:D8, hw, mtu 1500

....

Your next request generated a lot more:

Lot of chaff there. Not sure if there's any wheat at all. Does anything catch your eye, Ed?
