Ethernet not recognized

[rchecketts]

Total newbee with linux and Ubuntu.

I have installed Ubuntu 10.10 on a new hard drive on an old Acer Veriton M464 but the network adapter is not recognized.

System/Preferences/Network Connections (Wired tab) shows no connections.

What should i do can anybody help.

Thanks

I'm in the exact same boat. I just installed Ubuntu on a PC using an Asus K8V SE Deluxe mobo and when I try to connect to a wired connection it won't work. I've checked the LED light on my D-link DI-624 router after connecting it to the ethernet card and it won't light up.

I have the install disc for the motherboard drivers that includes the ethernet controller but I can't use the autorun feature for the CD and don't know how to install the Linux driver tar gz file or know if the linux drivers will even work with ubuntu.

I believe the ethernet adapter is the first one on this list: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsWiredNetworkCardsMarvell
which says it should be recognized and everything but it isn't so I don't know what's up.
