I've just installed Debian 7.5.0 amd netinst.



Actually I am trying to install the firmware through aptitude install firmware-linux-nonfree



When I executed ifconfig and ifconfig -a, the output indicates only the loopback no eth0 interface. However the Ethernet card and WLAN card are pretty detected, I checked it through lspci and both cards appear.



I edited /etc/network/interfacesl by adding DHCP but it was in vain.

    A Debian standard installation does come with a graphical interface these days ... even the standard installer has a graphical interface. You will need to be a lot more precise about your installation and answer the other questions I asked you before anybody can help you. And when you paste the output of lspci, please use lspci -v to get and post more information.

You may have to manually add the interfaces to /etc/network/interfaces. To see what network interfaces your system has detected look at /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules. Any interfaces detected will be identified by NAME= Add the interface names to /etc/network/interfaces as such:



auto eth1 # eth1 is an example name
iface eth1 inet dhcp


Then use ifup to bring up the new interface



$ sudo ifup eth1

I solved the problem for myself after months of hair pulling. Go to update manager at the top click on view. Select the kernel version at the bottom of the list which for me was 4.4.0-78 but for some it will be some version above 4.8. Click on install. I still have a lo and a Wlan0 showing in ifconfig but I now have an Eth0 showing. I unplugged the WiFi dongle and lo and behold I now have wired inter-net; eureka. With the wireless dongle out of course there is now no Wlan0.

        I solved the problem for myself after months of hair pulling. Go to update manager at the top click on view. Select the kernel version at the bottom of the list which for me was 4.4.0-78 but for some it will be some version above 4.8. Click on install. I still have a lo and a Wlan0 showing in ifconfig but I now have an Eth0 showing. I unplugged the WiFi dongle and lo and behold I now have wired inter-net; eureka. With the wireless dongle out of course there is now no Wlan0.
