Should be plug & play. With Ubuntu Sheisty though, it always tries to connect to a wireless connection, then gives up. There's an icon in the upper right corner of GNOME where you can tell it to use the "Wired" option, then it connects. I have to do this every time I boot, and I haven't really tried to fix it. --Nate
