Hi,
This is an older Dell latitude laptop. I see on Ethernet and one
Network controller line using lspci.
00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Device 1502 (rev 04)
02:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation Device 4727 (rev 01)
I have tried 'modprobe e1000.ko' and also for e1000e.ko and no return messages.
'ifconfig -a' only shows 'lo'.
Thanks for the help,
Dan
