Bug Description
We have two new Dell Inspiron 14z laptops which need a working Atheros AR8162 driver for wired ethernet in order to have a working eth0 interface.
Neither 12.04 nor 12.04.1 provide this driver.
We have a workaround which is also discussed on
http://
The above question is somewhat out of date; we have had success using compat-
It seems to me that this chipset is now fairly common and this driver should be included in the main Ubuntu release.
