Lightbulb Broadcom BCM57785 - Wired Internet connecting problems

Hello everyone! I'm a newbie in Linux world, so don't be hard on me. Recently I bought a new laptop - Acer Aspire v3-571g intel-corei3-3110M. I tried to install different linux distros: pear os, elementary os luna and ubuntu finally. In all cases it says "Connected" to my wired internet, but actually the internet isn't working. I really don't know what to. On my old Acer laptop(on which I'm currently typing) installed Ubuntu and the internet works like a charm. Maybe I have to install ethernet drivers? Please, help me.
I prepared some outputs that I saw in other threads is most requested for help, though I'm not sure what those commands mean:

Code:
ifconfig

Check out this post on Broadcom, then let us know what happened/didn't happen.

Hi we can eliminate that as you can see the eth0 entry
--that eth0 shows you have the hardware detected but maybe the wlan0 confused it for getting the dhcp (domain name server) up and running
----what you need to see----is an ip in that area eg

Code:
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr xxxxx  
          inet addr:192.168.1.100  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::221:97ff:fe76:2dda/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:1978 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:1762 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:50 
          RX bytes:1283082 (1.2 MiB)  TX bytes:277456 (270.9 KiB)
If frankbell's entry which appears to be a wireless howto does not help, can you try this pls?

Code:
sudo wlan0 down
sudo eth0 down
sudo eth0 up
sudo ifconfig eth0
its ethzero not eth ohh

if the last command does not show an ip, then try this

Code:
sudo dhclient eth0
based on this thread
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...t-eth0-517695/

not all distros use dhclient as their dhcp server but we await to see what results you get.

sometimes you can see something falling over in your /var/log/messages but you may need root powers to read it.

good luck

Now about Broadcom BCM57785: I read this article - http://havingnoclue.wordpress.com/20...-ubuntu-10-04/
and tried to install the driver, but there was issues:
1. In HOME I created "Ethernet" directory where I extracted linux-3.129d.zip
2. I extracted tg3-3.129d.tar.gz in Ethernet/Sever/Linux/Driver folder and there appeared "tg3-3.129d" folder
3. Opened a terminal and did the following:

Code:
ksenia@ksenia-Aspire-V3-571G:~$ cd Ethernet/Server/Linux/Driver/
ksenia@ksenia-Aspire-V3-571G:~/Ethernet/Server/Linux/Driver$ cd tg3-3.129d

I didn't execute commands:

What did I do wrong?? I don't know how to install it, the README.TXT file instructions apparently aren't enough for me

oops I missed out ifconfig from some.

never mind here is a useful link
http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/w...g#.Uf5INlM_UnU

In particular

can you now show the output for only your ethernet controller....I know you have done the short version I would like to see the long version of
Code:
lspci -vvv
If your kernel module is tg3 you could try
Code:
sudo modprobe tg3
but do you have it loaded already?

Code:
lsmod | grep tg3
back to that link, what do you have for /etc/network/interfaces?

I will show my non-wlan stuff
Quote:
cat /etc/network/interfaces
# /etc/network/interfaces - configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8)

# The loopback interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
hotplug means you can remove and re-insert the ethernet cable. Naturally you need to be a local user to get that /etc/....interfaces file to work for you, but the actual group you need to belong to is called plugdev from memory

as a local user....run groups and you can see ...<yourloginname>.dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev users fuse scanner netdev


#############

your
Quote:
sudo ifconfig eth0

according to my eye sight you have hardware

you have DHCP granting this hardware an ip
but it is broadcasting thru 172.16.31.255

is that some router address?

I have the Gateway: 172.16.31.253 and my first DNS is 172.16.31.253
And, yes, there is a pop-up message "connected", but browsers won't work, and through terminal I can't download any soft, about the software center - the same.

God, help us!

now we know your tg3 is already loaded from above output....but google for your card suggests firmware is needed.
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linu...an.user/417458

run this command and note you will need to get similar hits
Code:
dpkg -l | grep firmware
ii  firmware-linux                          0.39                          all          Binary firmware for various drivers in the Linux kernel (meta-package)
ii  firmware-linux-free                     3.2                           all          Binary firmware for various drivers in the Linux kernel
ii  firmware-linux-nonfree                  0.39                          all          Binary firmware for various drivers in the Linux kernel
ignore the version numbers as I run debian sid....I guess you are on ubuntu?

can you see if you have non-free repos enabled?

In debian you may need to use root powers to peek into files under /etc/apt
and you are looking for a file called debian.lst.....or it may be called sources.lst....I am not sure with ubuntu

I have a folder called sources.list.d ....you may not....its not important just find the file that has similar contents to below and confirm you have non-free

eg I have a debian sid so mine looks like
Code:
/etc/apt/sources.list.d$ cat debian.list 

deb http://mirror.internode.on.net/pub/debian sid contrib main non-free
the key word is non-free as you then need to install the non-free firmware
assuming you are comfortable manually editting your debian list file to add non-free then try this

Code:
sudo apt-get updata (to tell apt to update and grab non-free type files)
sudo apt-get install  firmware-linux-nonfree  firmware-linux-free  firmware-linux
sudo reboot
then check if you can get onto net
good luck

if not we might need to look at the /var/log/messages but only that part of your log concerning your ethernet pls

damn

I forgot to read your /etc/network/interfaces post.

pls use root powers like this to fix it up

Code:
sudo echo "
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp 
" >> /etc/network/interfaces
or do it using a root powered editor

The first command:

Code:
dpkg -l | grep firmware
ii  b43-fwcutter                              1:017-2                                amd64        utility for extracting Broadcom 43xx firmware
ii  linux-firmware                            1.106                                  all          Firmware for Linux kernel drivers
In /etc/apt/ I found "sources.list.d" folder but it was empty, but in the same "apt" directory I found sources.list file:

Code:

All of the rest commands didn't work because I don't have the internet on that laptop, it says "connected" after I hook up the ethernet cable but the internet doesn't actually work.
What do you suggest considering the above outputs??
