Realtek ethernet driver issue, network unclaimed, ubuntu 18.04
i'm getting error network UNCLAIMED, and i see through the forums that it states the drivers. well, my kernel is 5.3.0-20-generic, and it states when i try to install the drivers, its the latest...and its not working. do i need to downgrade to the prior version of the drivers or wait till the create it for this kernel? funny thing is my wireless interface is working...any help in the right directions, thanks.
$ sudo lshw -C network
