Hello All, I'm installing some DIY routers, composed of Intel nuc's ,Linksys usb-ethernet adapters and Centos7 On most machines I just plug in the usb device, install Centos7 and everything works. But on this one machine the network interface doesn't work. After installing ip addr shows: [root@clgmol ~]# ip addr 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN qlen 1 link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 ::1/128 scope host valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 2: enp3s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP qlen 1000 link/ether f4:4d:30:64:21:bb brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 192.168.80.189/25 brd 192.168.80.255 scope global dynamic enp3s0 valid_lft 431sec preferred_lft 431sec inet6 fe80::f64d:30ff:fe64:21bb/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 3: wlp2s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN qlen 1000 link/ether b8:81:98:9f:8f:1c brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 4: enp0s20u3c2: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN qlen 1000 link/ether 14:91:82:3b:7b:b9 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff [root@clgmol ~]# dmesg | tail -n15 [ 10.582462] Bluetooth: hci0: Intel device is already patched. patch num: 25 [ 10.770781] usb 2-3: new SuperSpeed USB device number 3 using xhci_hcd [ 10.782704] usb 2-3: New USB device found, idVendor=13b1, idProduct=0041 [ 10.782728] usb 2-3: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=6 [ 10.782745] usb 2-3: Product: Linksys USB3GIGV1 [ 10.782759] usb 2-3: Manufacturer: Linksys [ 10.782772] usb 2-3: SerialNumber: 000001000000 [ 10.787858] cdc_ether 2-3:2.0 eth0: register 'cdc_ether' at usb-0000:00:14.0-3, CDC Ethernet Device, 14:91:82:3b:7b:b9 [ 14.140292] nf_conntrack version 0.5.0 (16384 buckets, 65536 max) [ 14.175958] Netfilter messages via NETLINK v0.30.
