PhilipJFry Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Unfortunately @llIIll117, you might be out of luck 😞 Unraid requires an active internet connection (via ethernet only) to initiated the trial. Looking at the Lenovo drivers website, there doesn't appear to be any linux drivers for your laptop. 1 Quote Link to comment

The strange thing is ,my y480 installed linux when i bought it from dealer🙃 Anyway, thanks for the help👍. Quote Link to comment
PhilipJFry Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 (edited) My knowledge of Linux and the USB config is very limited. It "might" be hackable (i.e the network driver side of things), but only long term Unraid users would be more knowledgeable. Edited November 8, 2022 by PhilipJFry clarification Quote Link to comment
ghost82 Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 The chipset of the ethernet card should be the ar8161 which should work with alx drivers in linux and unraid should have these included if I'm not wrong.. Can you post diagnostics file? Quote Link to comment
