Hi, I‘m a bit stuck with my initial setup. I can‘t get networking up.
I have keyboard and mouse attached, initial setup is complete. I‘m unable to configure WiFi, because there is no Adapter present under Settings Menue.
So I plugged in Ethernet, but all Adapters show „no cable plugged is“ in the settings Menue.
„ethtool “ confirms this. (Stating „no link“). However, on my Switch, the corresponding Port shows „link up“.
Any Ideas?
What network interfaces do you see?
I have the following interfaces:
docker0
enP2p1s0f0np0
enP2p1s0f1np1
enp1s0f0np0
enp1s0f1np1
lo
It seems the RJ45 is missing, or am I wrong?
run the following from the command line (NOTE be careful with anything with sudo in front of the command, it essentially runs as root, the command below will show if NetworkManager is on):
sudo systemctl status NetworkManager
and post the first10 lines of the output.

dgx spark is ubuntu 24.04. It looks like it uses NetworkManager as the default network management service.

Another command that you can run from the command line is:
ifconfig
It will show you all the available interface and it’s ip address if it has one. The wireless one should look something like wlP8s8, it will at least start with the letter “wl” and 4 characters after.
PS interfaces are not named RJ45 in linux.
me as well, cannt get any network with 6.11.0-1016-nvidia…
not working with nvidai-smi on 6.11.0-1014-nvidia …
It’s torching me…
Problem solved. I brought up the device inside a wlan without Internet uplink. Nevertheless, the device applied Upgrades, no idea how, my explanation is that some new packages lay there from the start. However, that Update seemingly has broken some stuff. I reverted to the previous Kernel via Grub Boot loader, and now I have my Network devices.
Encountered similar issue, after a software update, Ethernet/Wifi/Bluetooth stopped working after the kernel was updated to 6.11.0-1016-nvidia.
Fixed it by manually installing the “linux-modules-extra-6.11.0-1016-nvidia” package via dpkg, for some reason the update somehow missed updating this package which included kernel modules for the wifi/ethernet module. Downloaded the deb file using a different computer and transferred to the DGX Spark via a thumb drive to workaround the lack of internet access.
can you explain this process in details please. I think I have the same issue. cannot get wifi/lan/bluetooth. it worked first time but after restarting it didn’t.
wondering how you installed this. I installed through ubuntu software center but it still says module r8153 not found ($ modinfo r8153) . any sequence of commands?
@akjoshi the kernel driver for the Ethernet port is r8127so try modinfo r8127 instead.
filename: /lib/modules/6.11.0-1016-nvidia/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/realtek/r8127/r8127.ko.zst
version: 11.014.00-NAPI
license: GPL
description: Realtek r8127 Ethernet controller driver
and the wireless driver is mt7925e
There are two kernel to boot 6.11.0-1014 and 6.11.0-1016 with the later being the default after updated. Try booting with the 1014 kernel, if your Spark worked before the update. That’s what @markus.schmidt must be referring to.

sudo dpkg -i linux-modules-extra-6.11.0-1016-nvidia_6.11.0-1016.16_arm64.deb
Then reboot (or modprobe directly the involved kernel modules)
thanks. this fixed the problem.
Ahhh thank you so much! I just had the same problem after doing a system update then suddenly all my networking stopped. This package fixed it!

This worked for me too - thanks! Needs to be pinned for new users I think, and also the update package fixed. Gave me a proper panic yesterday.
than you so much!!!
