El Capitan 10.11.3 update killed the Ethernet on my 2012 Mini port

As the title says, I installed the update for 10.11.3 on my Mac Mini end of 2012, and after that I restarted, the Ethernet port no longer works. It worked fine up until the reboot (i.e., I downloaded the update itself through my Ethernet port). Wireless still works, but I really need a wired connection on this machine.

Don't know if this helps, but the Ethernet port will still appear in the tab "Network" report of the system, but not in the drop-down list in network utility. I tried all the usual stuff - reboot, the evolution of the switch ports, change the cables, but nothing works. (I know that the switch itself is fine, because no other connected computers have problems.)

Any ideas? I really don't want to have to buy an adapter Thunderbolt to Ethernet, but I really can't with a Wi - Fi only for this machine. All the tips are greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Try this:

Start the computer in Safe Mode, and then restart normally. It will be slower than a normal startup.

HD recovery start:

Restart the computer and after the buzzer, press on and hold down the COMMAND and R until the menu screen appears.

Repair

When the recovery menu appears, select disk utility and press the continue button. Disk utility charges and select Macintosh HD entry indented from the list on the left.  Click the first aid tab in the toolbar... If disk utility reports any errors that have been corrected, then re-run first aid until no errors are reported. Wait until the operation is complete, then quit disk utility and return to the main menu. Select restart from the Apple menu.

Now, download and reinstall OS X El Capitan 10.11.3 Combo Update.

    I have a set of technical Pro monitor speakers that use Bluetooth to connect to the Mac.  However, I don't like the way they sound on Bluetooth, and I prefer not to use the headphone jack to hang them either.  Is there a a way to connect them using the Thunderbolt ports or USB ports?

    Welcome to communities

    Driver updates are usually found in ESX (i) patches. Drivers are made available for the material that is released after the ESX(I) release or a particular patch level but should normally be included in the next update. Is there a reason that you need to update the drivers outside the normal correction.

  • Printer stops working after update to the Capitan AE

    My Epson AcuLaser M1400 work properly with my previous Mac OS.  Once I have updated to the last, the printer stops working.  When I print a document, the printer stopped - "filter" has crashed.  A problem of 'sehr4ap supposed to quit' report pops up and clicked OK, let it go to Apple.  What is a possible solution to this problem?  Thank you!

    If you have verified that you have the latest drivers installed,

    in SystemPreferences-> printers and Scanners remove the printer with the sign less below.

    Then re install the printer (with the plus sign).
