    Hi, I have a toshiba satellite 305d 4830. I cannot get internet to work at all on it, wireless or ethernet. I am using the 64 bit 8.04 ubuntu. Can anyone provide assistance?

    EDIT: Ethernet solved, wireless still isn't D=

    Can you see the interface using the command:
    Code:
    ifconfig
    How is your /etc/network/interfaces configured?

    Check out this link, the L305D has the same network hardware as the L305, which is the laptop I own.

    output of ifconfig is (i'm hand typing this, so spacing will be off..):

    Code:
    lo       link encap:Local Loopback
       inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
       inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:host

       collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
       RX bytes:82800 (80.8 kb) TX bytes:82800 (80.8 kb)
    /etc/network/interfaces is as:

    Code:
     auto lo

    When the interface doesn't appear in "ifconfig" and the hardware appears in lspci, this means that no driver is claiming the hardware. Use the command "lspci" to see if the hardware is detected. From there we can see if the correct driver is being loaded.

    Re: Satellite 305d 8.04 ubuntu

    There looks to be a bug to this issue with the Marvell and the driver sky2.ko. Type the command:
    Code:
    modinfo sky2
    and lets see if it's listed within the module.

    Re: Satellite 305d 8.04 ubuntu

    The ID (4355) is not listed within the driver.
    Here's how to patch the driver:
    Code:
    sudo su (become root)
    Code:
    rmmod sky2
    cd /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net
    cp -p sky2.ko{,.orig}
    perl -pe 's/\0\0\x6c\x43/\0\0\x55\x43/g' sky2.ko.orig > sky2.ko
    Run modprobe sky2. You can check the "dmesg" to see if the device is detected.
    After reboot you should have Ethernet. Use "ifconfig" to verify (eth0).
