Reported by fiftyfou...@gmail.com, Apr 5 2018

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; CrOS x86_64 10323.67.0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/65.0.3325.209 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Remove wifi chip from Chromebox for security reasons (Box still works with ethernet)
2. Update to ver. 65
3. Chromebox no longer able to detect ethernet cable
4. Fixed by physically reinstalling wifi chip

What is the expected behavior?

What went wrong?
The OS is no longer able to detect the ethernet cable and is no longer able to connect to the internet when the wifi chip has been removed.

Did this work before? Yes 64

We have the same issue on several Chromeboxes. We also removed the WIFI chip to force the Chromebox to use the ethernet connection.  Ours broke when the Chromeboxes updated to 65.0.3325.184. Our work around is to temporarily install a USB WIFI adapter, which makes the ethernet connection work for that session.

Ours broke with 65.0.3325.184 and upgrading to 65.0.3325.209 does NOT fix the issue.

This issue started with 65.0.3325.184.  We had also removed the wifi chips and now must install a USB wifi adapter to get the Ethernet connection to work again (temporarily).

We found that the issue was resolved.  We are now running Chrome 66.0.3359.181
Thanks for the update
