I just installed ubuntu v9.04 on a new Acer notebook KAV60
dual boot with xp for now.
Ubuntu works great but I can't get my wired LAN internet connection to work.
It works fine when I plug the cable in on the XP side but not ubuntu.
IP 192.168.24.51 (for my NEC desktop)
I gathered this from the XP side:
Code:
IP 192.168.24.53 for acer notebook)
subnet mask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.24.1
and still no connection
I tried:
Code:
ping -c3 192.168.24.1
and get:
Code:
connect: Network is unreachable
Typing this in the XP side:
Reveals:
Code:
Dhcp Enabled: Yes
Autoconfiguration enabled: Yes
IP Address: 192.168.24.53
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway:192.168.24.1
DHCP Server: 192.168.24.1
DNS Servers: 192.168.24.1
Then I did put these:
IP 192.168.24.53 for acer notebook)
subnet mask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.24.1
into the network manager and this:
Code:
cat /etc/network/interfaces
gave me:
Code:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
It looks like there is no eth0 interface because:
ifconfig gets
Code:
lo Link encap:Local Loopback

the output for

So I try:
Code:
sudo ifconfig eth0 up
gets:
Code:
eth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
and
Code:
sudo modprobe atl1c
gets:
Code:
FATAL: Module atl1c not found
So I enter:
Code:
sudo lspci -n | grep 03:00
gives:
Code:
03:00.0 0200: 1969:1062 (rev c0)
so would this be the ethernet card? any ideas as to what driver I might need?
any help would be appreciated thanks.
PS I am 90% sure my wireless is working because I get a wireless network being named at work and several other wireless networks downtown but all are secure so I can't login.
