I am new to Linux. I recently installed Xubuntu. My computer is dual-booted with Windows 7 and Xubuntu running in the same machine. It works fine in every way. The internet in Xubuntu also worked fine. However, a few days back, due to a lightning strike, the internet port in the rear side of my CPU got damaged. The ethernet cable was operational, but due to internet port damage, I lost my internet connection.

I bought a usb 2.0 10/100M ethernet adapter (Kontron DM9601 fast ethernet adapter) and plugged the ethernet LAN cable into it. This adapter was then plugged into a USB port. After installing the right drivers and re-configuring the IP Addresses (the ones which were there before the port damage) in Windows 7, the internet seems to have returned and the Internet works well in Windows 7. However, when I restarted the machine and opened Xubuntu, there was disappointment ahead. Even when the adapter was plugged in, there was no internet connection in Xubuntu. I configured VPN > Created a new Ethernet Connection > Deleted the existing but unusable Ethernet Connection > Set the Mac Address > Set the IP Address, netmask, Gateway, DNS Server under IPv4 Settings> Saved and closed the Network Connections box.

There is still no internet in Xubuntu. One thing I would like to mention is that, there is a feeble connection for a few seconds and then I am back to disconnected. The connection lasts for so short time that I cannot open any website with it.

I can't figure out what does most of these stuff mean, but from the looks of it, I recognize dm9601 which has some link with my usb to ethernet connection. There are 3 entries related to dm9601 at the beginning of lsmod list. I am relisting them below for your ready perusal.

Thanks for your quick reply, chili. It was too late at night when I edited the previous post, that's why I couldnot reply to you earlier. I am sorry for that. Hope this result clears some clouds of obscurity. No internet in Xubuntu yet. Thanks.

How do I install the drivers for DM9601 ethernet adapter in Xubuntu? I firmly think that this is most likely a driver problem. I received a mini-disk during purchase of the usb-to-ethernet adapter with driver files to be installed in linux. However, I can't figure out 'How to do it!!!'. Is there anyone who can offer an easy step-by-step procedure for installation of DM9601 driver in Xubuntu? I have listed the output of important commands above. If someone needs any more info, I shall gladly provide it. It is really hopeless to work without internet in Xubuntu. Installation of some softwares are very difficult without net due to dependencies and stuff. Thanks.

If you have an eth0, it appears that the internal ethernet is (sort of) working. I suggest we find out its driver and blacklist it so the two interfaces don't potentially conflict. Please edit your question to add the full result of:

Another strange thing is that the interface the driver creates is called enx00e04c534458 (the number is also the MAC address of the adapter), which is different than any ethX for native ethernet ports.

It worked on a XTC321 Usb 2.0 RJ45 fast ethernet adapter" Was this review helpful? (Report this) 26 of 28 people found the following review helpful: Joris R
