Ubuntu

ASUS L5F00GA Laptop no network connection.

Asked by Didacus on 2008-12-30

Hello, I have just installed Ubuntu 8.10 both in my desktop and in my laptop (a realtivelly old ASUS L5F00GA). First time I approached GNU/Linux . Both installations were successful.
While with my desktop I can, with my laptop I can't connect to the internet. Both of them are directly connected with different cables to a ADSL router (no-wireless).
The Ethernet card definitely works. Indeed I re-installed Vista again and only after having updated the Ethernet card driver with the ones contained in the ASUS CD the connection was established. Do I have to use the CD in Linux as well?

Here under the result of the ifconfig command with the three network cards (indeed, while I can imagine what eth0 and wlan0 is, I do not know what pan0 is):

segreteria@segreteria:~$ ifconfig eth0
