Re: ethernet not loading

I just got back to looking at this.  I was able to add the 
linux-libre-4.4 to my system, the ethernet is visible now, but the 
connection is erratic.  I am using gnome, but it doesn't automatically 
detect the ethernet.  Sometimes I can execute the 'ifconfig eth0' up 
command in the terminal and connect.  Other times it gives me an out of 
memory message.
