Hey everyone. I just bought a new laptop since my old one crapped out. I am trying to reinstall Arch but my laptop doesn't recognize my ethernet controller at all. I tried to see if it was recognized by the bus with lspci -nn and nothing. It's not recognized with iw or ifconfig either. I plug in a DSL line and the port doesn't light like it's supposed to. So does anyone have a link for the driver?

I configured arch to use a bridged connection on virtual box instead of NAT and used my G2X(P999) and used USB tethering through my USB port. Everything is working fine now as far as a connection for the archbox. Its a good work around for not having an ethernet connection to install the desktop and required packages. I still would like to fix the ethernet controller issue though! So a link to an ubuntu based ethernet controller driver would be appreciated! Thanks.

EDIT:
I should have mentioned i am running 11.10 with the 3.0.0-26 kernel

sudo lshw -class network results:

I found the Windows 7 driver -> http://toshiba-asia.com/sg/support/d...etails/3034327 which was seriously easy just cant find the *Nix version.
