Hi Jude,
The dhcpcd only told me that that is not installed.
And There is nothing in interfaces about eth0.
I do have the ifup, but that does nothing.
But I did the dhclient command you suggested, and now it is finally showing
an IP address that reflects my router's IP range.
So that is progress, but now it cannot get out to the WAN, as updates still
won't connect and FF still gets an error trying to load a page.
But I can ping 192.168.1.1, which is my router.
It did not understand nmtui though.
And it did not know iplink for iplink set eth0 up
But there's some progress.
Glenn

Hi Glenn,
In /etc/network-interfaces/network-interfaces.d are sample files for
different type network installs. One of them will have wlan0 in it
and have that connected to eth0. That one may help if you copy it to
/etc/network-interfaces but first check the content of
/etc/network-interfaces if it exists to make sure you don't overwrite
anything valuable. The contents of /etc/resolv.conf may prove
informative too.
Have you tried
dhcpcd
also
dhclient
yet?
Before you do those dhcpcd and dhclient commands try iproute -a and
then see where you find yourself.
If this is a new laptop Ubuntu 10.4 likely won't know all about its
hardware.
You may need to install debian firmware edition.
If you'd like it let me know and I'll see if I can send you a script
to download the iso.

Hi Jude,
Yes, although I hadn't mentioned that, I did try ifup eth0 and it says
ignoring unknown interface eth0
