I run Manjaro LINUX on my daily driver laptops.. and I was trying to test the ethernet speeds [as we were talking about, for my NAS...] last night.
Seems that this Arch-based Linux doesn't like to 'just be connected to ethernet' and that I have to iron out some *nix setup stuff... but the BASIC networking documentation didn't get me there last night and... jeeeez. Shouldn't be so hard to simply connect an ethernet wire - it should just go LIVE. So I have to figure out what this Manjaro system wants from me to even accept the ethernet connection and give it internet.
Jeeeeez man. Well... hmmmm; I do have Ubuntu on a 2nd drive, maybe I'll select IT at the grub menu and just use Ubuntu to test the ethernet speeds- however I'm still gonna have to figure out the Manjaro issue as thats what I use day to day. At least I found this before I needed to use ethernet at some hotel or work situation. UGH.
