Ethernet on Bionic-Mate?

[ndp]

I had the same issue but manually running sudo dhclient made it work.

I tried that, but it didn't work.

"Cannot find device eth0"

I got mine to work by making the following change to /lib/udev/rules.d/73-usb-net-by-mac.rules :

from:
    
     IMPORT{builtin}="net_id", NAME="$env{ID_NET_NAME_MAC}"

to:

    IMPORT{builtin}="net_id", NAME="eth0

After making the change I rebooted the pinebook pro and the usb ethernet connection now work properly.

I found the above solution in the following link:

In my case I also need the "r8152" kernel module because I have a Realtek 8152 USB ethernet adapter so I added r8152 to /etc/modules.

Hope this helps.
