Secondary PCI network card showing connection to router, but no detection by ubuntu
Ubuntu 11.10 32-bit desktop
AutoEth0 is onboard LAN on GigaByte MB M68MT S2P
PCI (non-express slot) has Hawking PN102TXA 10/100 Mbps network adapter card
I have my BIOS PCI settings set all to auto, and my ATI Radeon HD 6450 1GB VG card on PCIex16 slot and it works just fine. My secondary ethernet network card is connected and powered, and when it is connected to my router, I get a signal from the router that there is a connection, but my ubuntu OS is not detecting that network card for autoeth1. I can't check it on another S because I do not have an extra computer with another OS to check it, and I want to refrain from having to buy another card if I can help it.
I want to know why ubuntu cannot detect this extra card. I need to use a secondary ethernet card for my statically connected VM, but the device is not showing up in the list of devices to use. What are my options and what should I do to assess the problem?
