Hi everyone, this has been a long and frustrating day trying different os's and the only time I have had an ethernet connection is during the installation of Fedora and Ubuntu.

Things I've tried: Model and Cable work perfectly fine on other PC's/Laptops Iommu is enabled. Networking is enabled in the bios Cannot find drivers for my motherboard/ethernet for download as .tar or any other variant as my other pc's are all windows.

[B]My specifications are as follows: [/B]Gigabyte 990 UD3 motherboard AMD FX 8350 stock cpu 16gb of avexir and corsair ram (gb each 4x2) Gigabyte 970 G1-G gpu and 2 separate 1tb HDD's

I need to connect to the internet as soon as possible for my job, please respond with any and all fixes you can think of and I will respond as son as I see them. If you need any additional information let me know and as stated, I'll respond when I see your question.

Thank you, hopefully this can easily be resolved.

Welcome. Which do you want help with? Ubuntu or Fedora?

You are posted in an area for Fedora which, frankly, is not the best place to be if you need help fast. Suggest you post on a Fedora forum. Mostly volunteer Ubuntu enthusiasts here and you have a small chance of getting lucky. Not a main forum support area.

If you want help with Ubuntu, say so and will move this to the appropriate area, but one or the other, thanks. Not both. ;)

Could you post the output of:

sudo lshw -C network

this will let us see if the drivers for your NIC are in use.

lshw command not found

Also to update ip ad sho outputs the following mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default 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: enp5s0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state DOWN group default qlen 1000 link/ether fc:aa:14:94:a4:aa brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

From the looks of it, Fedora doesn't have the tools most of us using Ubuntu expect to see in a default installation, which makes it pretty hard to help you with your problem. If you have lsmod installed, check to see if the r8169 driver is listed.

 lsmod | grep r8169
r8169                  81920  0
mii                    16384  1 r8169

Mine looks identical to what you posted.
