I have a Z170 Gaming K6 motherboard with a killer ethernet 2400. I have just installed Ubuntu but I'm not getting any internet even though I connected it with a wired connection to my router. I have looked around and found this post
Is there any way to install Atheros e2400 drivers?
and this link
but I get stuck on the first few steps.
sudo apt-get source linux-image-$(uname-r)`
gives me the following error
E: You must put some 'source' URIs in you sources.list
Here is what happens when I use lspci:
sudo lspci -vvnn | grep Ehternet
06:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]L Qualcomm Atheros Device [1969:e0a1] (rev 10)
and lshw gives me
sudo lshw -C network
*-network UNCLAIMED

Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks!
ifconfig tells me

Best Answer
I suggest that you update the ethernet driver
alx
. Download this package to your desktop. Right-click it and select 'Extract Here.'Then, go to the directory
<extracted backport>/drivers/net/ethernet/atheros/alx/
and make changes in filesreg.h
andmain.c
as described here.Now, back to the terminal:
Reboot and tell us if there is any improvement. We will probably have one more step.
