ubuntu does not detect Lan Card

Hi!

Intel NIC drivers are usually included in Ubuntu, but which version of Linux are you running? And which NIC card / chipset do you have?

Run: 'lspci | grep net' to see NIC controller.
Run: 'sudo lshw -class network' to list more information about your NIC controllers.
Run: 'uname -a' to see your Linux version.

Regards, Tobias

thanks for yur feedback,but i cannot run those command i get Command not found.
i an doing this in the console(Ctrl Alt F2)

make sure you don't have CAPS LOCK on and type exactly
lspci

if that works then repeat Tobias' command from above
lspci | grep net

it gives the same info as above

You can use 'more', like:

sudo lshw -class network | more

The Via NIC should work in Ubuntu 8 (Hardy) which seems to be the version you're running (kernel 2.6.24).

What brand/model do you have on your 2:nd NIC card? Is it this card that has the Via-chip?

Have you checked in your computer BIOS that the built in Intel NIC is enabled? The lshw command should report all installed and enabled NIC cards.

You can download a NIC driver here: http://support.asus.com/download/dow...model=P5KPL-CM

And follow this thread to get it compiled and working: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=770173

"1) I installed ubuntu hardy 64bit, i has build-essential package installed2) Then i downloaded the linux driver from: http://support.asus.com/download/dow...model=P5KPL-CM(as per my original post)3) I then transfered the driver via usb stick to my laptop and unpacked the zip. (Actually i unpacked it on windows first as it has a .rar file that i could not unpack on linux Then i packed it up again on windows).4) cd into /LinuxDrivers/L1e_Lan/l1e-l2e-linux-v1.0.0.4/src5) then i ran: sudo KBUILD_NOPEDANTIC=1 make6) then i ran: sudo KBUILD_NOPEDANTIC=1 make install7) that worked and put a driver in /lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/kernel/drivers/net/atl1e/at1le.ko8 ) i cd into that director and i run: sudo insmod ./atl1e.ko"
