Hi, I'm a new user coming from Windows 7. Tried W10, hated it, and tried Zorin OS and have been liking it a lot. hahah
The issue I'm having is related to the ethernet connection. If I start the machine with the ethernet cable physically connected, it detects it flawlessly and connects to the internet no problem. However, if I unplug it then connect to wi-fi, and try to go back to the cable connection, it doesn't detect it, says the "ethernet cable in unplugged" and won't let me do anything about it.
I don't have such problem with the wireless connection, I can connect, disconnect, even toggle the physical switch ON and OFF, it always comes back and connects.
I have tried the command "sudo killall NetworkManager && sudo NetworkManager" to kill and restart the network manager, but even with that it still says the ethernet cable is unplugged. I'd guess it's a driver issue, but I don't know how to properly diagnose it...
