Why does the NVIDIA driver not see the switch?

Question

Computer networks

Generally such a problem.
There is a D-Link DGS-1024D/GE switch. For 24 ports, and an Acer aspire 9303WSMI laptop, with a network controller from NVIDIA. I’m trying to connect with a cable to it, I don’t see that the wire is connected, although the green indicator is on, so when I turn it on to any port with any wire, I even tried a cross crimp just in case, the same result. The rest of the computers are working fine.
There is also a D-Link DES-1026D switch. When connected to it with a wire, everything works fine.
Ps Both switches are interconnected.

Answer 1

The connector on the laptop may have been damaged. For example, a pair of paws are bent or oxidized. Does the port on the laptop work with anything?

Answer 2

You can try the magic way, boot from ubuntu live cd and check the link. It will work, then change the driver, it will not work, replace the cable and port

Answer 3

Do NForce chips still exist? How lovely. In fact, these network cards are gorgeous, but there was a similar problem before. Try to install the latest version of firewood or vice versa - roll back. Earlier (so 7-8 years ago) it helped.
Of course, you can reset the BIOS settings, but they obviously have nothing to do with it here.
Yes, it’s also possible that the switch or card uses type A crimping (usually we all use B, i.e. white-orange, orange, white-green, blue, white-blue, ...) and the card problems with the "coup" of the ends. Try crimping according to scheme A with a straight and cross. If it doesn't help, update/rollback your drivers.

Answer 4

There is also a D-Link DES-1026D switch. When connected to it with a wire, everything works fine.

Have you thought maybe the switch port is inactive/burned out?
