Asus eepc 1008ha problem with ethernet connection

[dpellon]

Hi I had an old pc with ubuntu, I only stayed with ubuntu like a month beause i decided to buy a gaming pc, so I was forced to come back to windows, now i buyed a Asus EeePc 1008ha (seashell) and decided to install ubuntu, the problem is that neither the ethernet nor the wifi works.

I have searched in the web for answers, this is the best info <i have found:


1- After installing Jaunty, download (from some other machine, of course), the AR813X-linux-v1.0.0.9.tar.gz package from http://partner.atheros.com/Drivers.aspx

2 - Install the driver, ignoring some errors that may appear. Just follow this steps:

Code:

tar -xzvf AR813X-linux-v1.0.0.9.tar.gz
cd src
make
sudo make install
sudo insmod atl1e.ko
(the last two steps must be redone if you do a kernel upgrade)

Done, you should get wired network now.

Note: People using 2.6.30+ kernels (which is not the default in Jaunty):
These steps must be followed: Post by BandedHawk. It works.

In my previous pc i installed a program to open the terminal where i want (so i didnt had to specify a directory), but now i have no conectivity.

Ok i downloaded the driver (in another pc), i put the driver in the desktop, i opened the terminal and copy pasted the code (obiously it failed without a specified directory).

So considering that my pc username is daniel and the driver is located in the desktop, which will be the exact code i will have to write?

Thanks for your time and sorry for my bad english.:)

I'm not sure what you're asking, but if you're asking how to navigate to the driver on your desktop and if your user name is "daniel" the command would be:

cd /home/daniel/Desktop/AR813X-linux-v1.0.0.9.tar.gz
Now what you can do when your navigating with directories is press "tab" and it will autofill the most relevant option. You can also put *, which stands for a kind of wild card. For example, if the driver file was called AsusDriver.tar.gz you could run:

cd /home/daniel/Desktop/Asus*
Remember when working the Terminal everything is case sensitive, your English is fine by the way. ;-)

thanks for your reply
when I put this directory:

cd /home/daniel/Desktop/AR813X-linux-v1.0.0.9.tar.gz
it tells me that its not found, i im sure thats the directory and the filename is correct, also im not sure to write cd source or cd only.

Also should i let tar and make like that or should i change it?

I realy apreciate your time :)

Remember it's case sensitive.
