As I recall, "disconnected" usually indicates driver issue - what kind of cards?

Are they wireless or wired?

A quick Google search (I'm not familiar with them, either) shows them to be 10/100 (wired) cards. It also revealed several sites for drivers, but I'm not sure which ones work with/for Ubuntu.

What are results of lshw -C network?
