Can you do this without errors:
Code:
cd compact-wireless-2012-07-03-p
make clean
scripts/driver-select ath9k
make
Re: I installed Ubuntu 12.04 on my laptop lenovo G580, wired connection is not workin
OK, managed to fix the problem. I downloaded and installed compat-wireless-2012-02-28-p.tar.bz2 from http://linuxwireless.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/ .
tar -xvf compat-wireless-2012-02-28-p.tar
cd compat-wireless-2012-02-28-p
scripts/driver-select alx
make
make install
modprobe alx
Note: This fix will NOT work with newer versions of compat-wireless-2012-02-28-p.tar.bz2. Alx was removed from newer versions. Use the exact file described here.
Got it from here

Diego,
I was considering ordering this laptop but was holding off, as I was reading about issues with the wired connection. Regarding your last post, is everything working good on this laptop under 12.04?
I would appreciate it!

Today i installed ubuntu 12.04 x64,
+ After i updated it,
+ The last step is to install compat-wireless-2012-05-09-p.tar.bz2 from http://linuxwireless.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/
After these steps the wifi and ethernet connection is working.

Reminder to those still struggling: don't forget the -a when looking for eth0 with ifconfig. Without it, interfaces which are down will not be listed. Also, verify that /etc/network/interfaces has an 'auto eth0' stanza, or your eth0 will happily stay down. (Forehead, meet hand.)

Since the latest Ubuntu 12.04 point release (12.04.2) on 14 Feb, there is a very simple and supported solution to the AR8162 driver problem. No more module-compiling hassles!
The 12.04.2 point release introduced the LTS Enablement Stack which keeps the kernel and X stack up to date with the versions from Quantal (or later). Quantal's kernel (3.5.0) has built-in support for the alx driver.
If you currently are on 12.04, apt-get updating your system to 12.04.2 will not enable the LTS Enablement Stack by default. You need to explicitly install the packages linux-generic-lts-quantal (and/or xserver-xorg-lts-quantal if you want the X stack):
apt-get update
apt-get install linux-generic-lts-quantal
... is all it took in my case to get the network card working.
