From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

On my Ubuntu 24.04 bos here the lo interface is also in state UNKNOWN, but I have no problems with accessing the network or even ping 127.0.0.1 (the interfaces ip/localhost).
Pretty sure it's suppose to be like that, just as @just_another_person@lemmy.world said.
That's your loopback interface. It's supposed to look like that.
F, I think my NIC just died then
Edit: nic is enabled in bios and ifconfig only shows loop back and wlol.
If you occasionally boot to windows, it's known to leave NICs in an unusable state if you just hibernate/quick power off. You need to boot back to windows and so a "proper" shutdown for it to come good.
Fedora only box
Did you possibly update your kernel recently? Perhaps before your reboot?
Check dmesg output and see if there's anything useful in there.
Anything I should be grepping for? Nothing stuck out after a few scrolls
Edit:auto correct
Anything about modules failing to load. What distro are you on? I would check and see if you can still boot into the previous kernel version and see if the interface comes back. You should have the previous version available to select in your boot menu.
Ding ding. Booting into old kernel fixed it
Okay, so now you need to get the kernel versions, and start looking up the "why". Is this a problem with the specific kernel build you got upgraded to, or was there a config change that messed something up?
If you know the current version works, there's nothing super wrong with staying on it for awhile to avoid the issue, but it's probably best to identify the cause so you don't live in fear of future upgrades.
What are the two version numbers you have now, and which one works?
I had to leave and won’t be back for a couple days. Tried googling was Fedora 41 is on and I just know it’s 6.11. Once I get back I’ll look at grub and update.
You haven't given any info on your environment, but does it show up in the OS? In lspci or nmtui or whatever? Is it listed in /etc/network/interfaces or your distro's equivalent?
It does not show up in the network manager (Fedora). Ifconfig also only shows loopback and wifi.
I did now find it at the bottom of the command so that’s something at least.

Try booting from a live disk. If it works there, it's probably an update or config change that's causing problems.
Booting into an old kernel fixed it
