Bug Description
Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.20
in Feisty and previous versions there is no driver for Attansic Fast Ethernet L2.
in bug #77725 i found a link to this driver.
i hope it will be supported in future kernel updates.
bye
To post a comment you must log in.
please, can anyone more expert than me take a look on this bug report?
i have found i way to avoid the driver lack.
i have a laptop ASUS F5R with Ubuntu 7.04 and i've installed the windows xp drivers of the wired card via ndiswrapper.
in this way the system can recognize the wired card and finally access to the Internet.
curiously the system recognizes the network cards as follow:
