I'm new to Ubuntu so I ask for your patience in advance please.

While running Hardy I compiled Madwifi and had success with Atheros chipset and Broadcom wired connect. I did a clean/fresh install of Intrepid and after installing linux-backports-modules-intrepid to enable my Atheros wifi card AR5007Eg I succeeded in getting wifi but lost wired network.

See below for results of:
1. $ uname -a

I can provide any further information required but I am hoping someone can help me to get my wired connection back.
Thank you.
