Internet connection doesn't work. Lenovo G580. Atheros AR8162/AR9285.
Despite my attempts, I can't establish Internet connection on my laptop (Lenovo G580). Both, wireless and wired connections don't work. I have Ubuntu 12.10 installed. I have tried following:

Re: Internet connection doesn't work. Lenovo G580. Atheros AR8162/AR9285.
Hi,
Please post how did you manage to install wireless drivers? what are the drivers required?
I am in the same problem now and would like to get it fixed. Thanks.
Re: Internet connection doesn't work. Lenovo G580. Atheros AR8162/AR9285.
@Shunmugavel--
Do you have any internet access at all? Please post:
Code:
lspci -nn | grep 0200
lsb_release -d
Thanks.

Re: Internet connection doesn't work. Lenovo G580. Atheros AR8162/AR9285.
Your ethernet device is covered by the module alx. In the latest kernels of Ubuntu 12.10, 3.5.0-24 and beyond, it's included by default.
If you do have internet access and don't wish to upgrade to 12.10 at this time, I'd install this, preceded by linux-headers-generic and build-essential. Let me know if you need additional guidance.

Re: Internet connection doesn't work. Lenovo G580. Atheros AR8162/AR9285.
I have installed linux-headers-3.5.0-23-generic_3.5.0-23.35~precise1_amd64, but however i am unable to install any build essentials version at all(build-essential_11.5ubuntu2.1_amd64) it keeps on giving dependencies errors with g++, dpkg-dev packages. So i have completed lost my hope in installing these drivers and for just to enable internet in ubuntu.
Not sure how to proceed??

Do the same for other missing dependencies. I know, without an internet connection, it's a tough job, but you can do it with patience and perseverance. I have helped others and I know you can do it, too.

Hi Chili,
Thanks again for helping and bringing confidence to me. I have tried to resolve all the dependencies i have. But blocked by the below one. Please help to resolve this,
I need to install libc6 package, it has dependencies with package libgcc1(so this needs to be configured first). To install libgcc1, you have to configure multiarch-support. But if i tried to install multiarch-support then it checks for libc6(which is yet to be configured) and fails. Please see the below error logs,

What should i do to fix this?
Re: Internet connection doesn't work. Lenovo G580. Atheros AR8162/AR9285.
You can try to install them all at the same time:
Code:
sudo dpkg -i libc6*.deb libgcc1*.deb multiarch-support*.deb
The wildcard * relieves us of the need to type all the numbers, dashes, underscores, etc.
I think you are getting close!!
