Ethernet. Don’t be embarrassed if you have no idea what it is; after all, Apple doesn’t even include an ethernet port on its laptops anymore. For the uninitiated, it’s a network connection type that involves using an actual cable.</p><p>
On the desktop, though, Apple still includes an ethernet port. Recently, Apple issued a minor kernel extension update for OS X, but the update had a bug that disabled ethernet. Apple fixed the offending update, but if you installed the update and still see problems, Apple has a support article for troubleshooting and fixing your disabled ethernet (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT6672).</p><p>
If you have an ethernet and Wi-Fi working at the same time, you may not have noticed your ethernet connection not working. So it’s worth a few minutes of your time to check your connection.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3039258/macs/apple-issues-a-fix-for-ethernet-diabled-by-a-recent-os-x-update.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
