If you want to use a linuxcnc install image maybe just buy a seperate NIC. If of course you have a spare slot

To build on Ubuntu 18.04.1

In your terminal:
sudo apt install devscripts build-essential imagemagick tcl8.6-dev tk8.6-dev libxaw7-dev libncurses-dev python-dev python-tk libglu1-mesa-dev libgtk2.0-dev source-highlight libboost-python-dev debhelper libmodbus-dev dvipng libusb-1.0-0-dev inkscape python-numpy python-imaging-tk python-gtkglext1 blt bwidget libtk-img tclx libudev-dev python-vte libqt4-dev libssl-dev libxenomai-dev git python-pil.imagetk

(The above has to be on one line)

sudo apt install yapps2 intltool libreadline-dev git

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc.git linuxcnc-dev

cd linuxcnc-dev/src

./autogen.sh
./configure --with-realtime=uspace --enable-non-distributable=yes
make
sudo make setuid

cd ../scripts
. ./rip-environment
(note it is dot space dot/rip-environment)
linuxcnc

I just installed Ubuntu 18.04.1 in virtualbox and went through the process. Just to check.

The stretch version of 2.8 ( master ) works in LinuxMint19.1 as is !
Literally download, open with gdebi, click install ! That is with Preempt-RT .
Sim should also work without preempt-rt.

I think I have a solution to your card not being recognised with the Debian net install.
Found the updated driver source and compiled it, it should recognise your card, would have to make some packages for you to install once the install is completed.

Thanks Tommylight with your input. i will give that a try when I get a chance.

I believe I found another typo in that install post. The command as given is

./confiure --with-realtime=uspace --enable-non-distributable=yes
I think it should be
./configure --with-realtime=uspace --enable-non-distributable=yes

If you concur it would be good to edit the post for future reference.
With that change I was able to finish the installation and start linuxcnc YEAH!!!:woohoo:

Thanks so much for everyone's help

If you think you have a solution for the network card I would be glad to give that another go.

Yeah you got it to work, even after my dopey typos.

I'll have to run through the process a few times to nail it down.
