Can't connect Macbook Pro5,5 Ethernet Ubuntu 16.04
I have installed single-boot Ubuntu 16.04 (64-bit PC (AMD64) desktop image) in my Macbook Pro 13' mid 2009 (5.5) but I don't have Ethernet connection when connecting directly to the router (WIFI does not work as there are no drivers and I need Ethernet to install them). I have checked other posts but none of them worked for my case.
