Started up my iMac this morning; no ethernet. Wi-fi works fine
Took it to the local apple repair store; they were able to use an ethernet adapter through the usb port and was able to make a connection. Not ready to spend money on a diagnostic yet; they ran a basic diagnostic and everything checked out.
When I go to add a connection in the System preferences pane and choose an interface, the ethernet option isn't even there; just wi-fi, fire wire, and bluetooth pan.
If a choose diagnostics from the assist me button, I have three ports to choose from: ethernet, wi-fi, or other. The ethernet option is greyed out and I can't even choose it.
I had no problems last night; it worked fine. But now I can't get any ethernet. I didn't do anything different -- didn't disconnect anything, etc. My internet connection is working fine, as I said. It's just the ethernet connection that somehow isn't being seen.
Anyone ever have this problem? Any ideas?
