Ethernet card not found and lshw doesn't show network section

Sorry, I was wrong about the Audio... it shows in "inxi" so I deleted that post. Oops.

OK on the frequent thunderstorms... they may be the cause then. I've never lost a network card to storms like that, but I have lost several telephone devices in the past.

Also, they make surge protectors that also protect your ethernet. It's basically like other surge protectors, but has an ethernet in and out.

This is not a brand recommendation, but an example of such:

Which distro do you prefer to be best among light weights ?

 

[KGIII]

I'm a Lubuntu fan, though it's not as lightweight as it used to be. It's still pretty light.

Great, I also liked that one, simple yet, better one.

I like several. I'm currently using Zorin Lite, but also a fan of Linux Lite, Peppermint, Easy OS, and Lubuntu. Probably a few more even.
