Sorry that I put this in the wrong place. Do we have a off topic thread for this items?

I have tried Ubuntu 16.04, 17.10.1 and Mint 18 Mate (32 and 64 bit). Everything works fine on wifi. Maybe it's a kernel issue? I just don't know what kernel to up to. Or driver issue? I check the drivers and from what I found online I think they are correct.

Yes it is also happening on live installation usb.

I have ordered a usb to ethernet device to try that out.

From my research it seems like Ethernet isn't tested as much as wifi. This is the only time I have ever really needed Ethernet to work and of course it doesn't.

Not sure what else to try.
