lshw not showing network

  • 772

Output:

{User}@{Computer}:~$ sudo lshw -class network
{User}@{Computer}:~$

If you look at 00:07.0 I believe that is the network card. However lshw doesnt show it.

I mainly need information on network speed 10MBpS/100MBsP/1000MBpS

Though knowing why my system isn't working would be nice.

    Seems no one answered this, and to be honest, until today I couldn't have either. It just happens, however, that I just picked up a shuttle box to serve as a file/print server that is using a mini-itx planar with the nvidia 430 chipset.

    First, I couldn't see a network device at all, until I set the MAC Media Interface BIOS option to RGMII.

    Then I was able to see the device in lspci, and it appears exactly as yours does (same bus address even).

    So the key to your question is that it does not appear to the system as a network class device, but rather a bridge. so if you do this, you'll see it:
