All of this will help to determine whether the hardware has been recognised and setup correctly. I know my netbook needed a proprietary driver which I was able to enable from the 'Hardware Drivers' application.

Missing Ethernet Port
Hello All I have a problem when installing Ubuntu 10.04 on a Friends Laptop. I have already installed 10.04 with no trouble on my desk top and lap top. In a terminal "ifconfig eth0" shows 'eth0' to be present on both my machines but absent on the Friends laptop (there is also no eth1 etc). The Friends laptop connects to the Internet OK on Windows 7 but because of the absence of 'eth0' fails to connect with Ubuntu. Can anybody tell me how to fix this ? Thanks in advance David B -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
