Re: ethernet not loading

[nightowl]

Sorry, I had been making allot of changes on my PC lately and could not 
figure out what I all broke.  Ended up doing a re-install but I am using 
the default kernel again (4.20.5-gnu) in GuixSD.  At the moment, I am 
not too bothered by the lack of ethernet.  I might save this problem for 
another time.

Thanks.
