If you’ve reinstalled the operating system on your Slimbook Evo and the wired connection isn’t working, don’t worry, you simply need to install the YT6801 driver.
Below, I’ll guide you through the installation process for different versions of Ubuntu and its derivatives.
Ubuntu 24 and derivatives
- Add the Slimbook archive repository:
| $ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Slimbook-Team/slimbook-base-files/main/sources/slimbook.list $ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Slimbook-Team/slimbook-base-files/main/keys/slimbook.gpg $ sudo mv slimbook.gpg /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/ $ sudo mv slimbook.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ $ sudo apt update |
- Install the YT6801 Network Driver:
| $ sudo apt install slimbook-yt6801-dkms $ sudo reboot |
Ubuntu 22 and derivatives
- Add the Slimbook ppa repository:
| $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:slimbook/slimbook $ sudo apt update |
- Install the YT6801 Network Driver:
| $ sudo apt install slimbook-yt6801-dkms $ sudo reboot |
If, after following these steps, the Ethernet port still isn’t working, there may be a hardware issue. You can reach out to the support team by submitting a ticket.
