Hello Everyone,
I have installed Ubuntu 10.04 on my Dell Inspiron N4010 laptop.
I'm unable to detect my wired ethernet.
I tried searching for it extensively but I think I was unable to make sense out of the posts already present.
I know this has something to do with the need to install the correct drivers.
Also posting the output of few commands
