As far as I can see you have 2 problems, - one of which I hope you don't care:
- powering up one of your two wired ethernet connectors seems not to have worked (according to the message: "unknown interface eth1=eth1"). This problem should have an easy solution, but I am still no expert in wired ethernet problems since I have never seen one that doesn't work like magic.
- your computer contains a marvel 88w8335 wireless chipset - for which there is still no linux driver. But don't despair: you can always use the windows one instead:

Just install ndisgtk - grab the windows driver files files from the driver CD or any windows installation:
WG311v3.INF
WG311v3.SYS
WG311v3XP.SYS
WG311v3.CAT
Press System | Administration | Windows wireless drivers

--- and ndisgtk will tell you what to do.

Hi,

Please try this installation procedure for your Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88w8335 [Libertas] 802.11b/g Wireless [11ab:1faa] (rev 03) card:

Step 1: Open Terminal from "Applications->Accessories->
Terminal"

Step 2: Run the following commands (copy-paste each line below to the Terminal then hit <enter> after each line)

sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude install ndisgtk ndiswrapper-common ndiswrapper-modules-1.9 ndiswrapper-utils-1.9

Step 3: Download the Windows driver file Marvell_88w8335_WinXP.tar.gz provided by forumuser caljohnsmith at the following location:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=976928

You will first need to register and log into ubuntuforums with your own username before you can download the file. But it should be worth the effort.

Step 4: Open a Terminal and enter the following command to start ndisgtk:

gksudo ndisgtk

Click on "install new driver". Click on "None", next to "Location". Navigate to the location where you extracted the contents of the downloaded file Marvell_88w8335_WinXP.tar.gz. The extracted folder contents should contain the file mrv8335.inf

Select this driver file mrv8335.inf to install it.

Step 5: Open Terminal from "Applications->Accessories->
Terminal" and enter the following command in Terminal:

gksudo gedit /etc/modules

# Now add the module ndiswrapper to the list of modules to be automatically loaded at boot by adding

ndiswrapper

# to the end of the /etc/modules file. (Gedit editor automatically opens)

Step 6: Reboot your pc and retest wireless

Step 7; If wireless still does not work after rebooting, or if authentication does not work, try disabling security on the router and retry connecting via wireless.

Hope this helps,

Regards,

Mark

Hi Peter, I have one LAn conected and other no... so thatś why the eth1 fails. I tried to use the windows files but it is not working.

Hi Mark, I followed all of you steps and the ndiswrapper always give me a message that the Hardware is not present... funny at all.

- Until my wlan card started being supported I had to try several windows drivers. Don't know if in the end dhe XP one, the Win2K one - or the Vista one worked.
- Make sure that the drivers are on the hard disk linux is on: Sometimes the driver doesn't work until a reboot - and linux may want to start the ndiswrapper as one of the first things before mounting the other hard disk partitions/media at boot time so until you have typed in your password your WLAN already has detected all the networks.
- I assume you already have made sure the RF kill switch (most of the times really a physical switch at the side of your computer does work) is not switched to "off". I have to admit that the only 2 times I had big problems making the WLAN work it was due to this switch. On some computers you can disable the switch at all in the BIOS of the computer or tell the bios if it itselves should handle the switch or if it should delegate it to the operation system. If it is there play with this setting.
- After trying to set up ndiswrapper open a console and see if there are some useful hints, error messages or warning in the central stores for system messages: /var/log/messages
 (if you don't have the rights to read this file issue the command
  sudo gedit /vat/log/messages
  from a terminal)
  ...and the output of the dmesg command.
 If dmesg - or any other command started in a terminal outputs too many interesting lines you can unlimited add up-and-down-scrolling functionality to the program by adding a
 |less
 to the command:
 dmesg|less
- https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper (and loads of other tutorials) tell you how to use ndiswrapper manually instead of using the graphical ndisgtk tool. You may want to try this: Graphical tools are fine - but if you really need information what went wrong on all operating systems I know they tend to be not really useful, because they try not to scare you with warnings - that might contain a complete description of the solution of your problem, though.

Just for the unlikely case that the driver itselves is already working - and your system just has failed to see that I linked a FAQ to the question that handles this kind of problem.

FAQ #1233: “Network Troubleshooting”.

Can you help with this problem?

Provide an answer of your own, or ask Roberto for more information if necessary.
