Well, you are connected to something! What or where is the ethernet cable plugged in to?? I am puzzled by the 10.10.xx address when the wireless has a 88.118.xx address. I wonder if your router or access point is mis-configured.

Today i tried to connect at my home. And everything works like a charm. So i guess at my office there was something wrong with configuration... I'll try harder

Anyway, thanks for response!

P.S. Wifi had different ip because it was at different place.

make install
modprobe alx

while using compat-wireless-2012-09-01-pc.tar.bz2 instead but it have error
when i try to use "modprobe alx" it like they don't have alx command anymore like in the post said

[Kyora]

for now i try to follow ur advise step be step now i'm able to see wire network but i still can't connect them successfully they keep connecting but may be it due to i run command

I try to connect to Ethernet switch but it keep trying to connect with no success but the Ethernet port work fine w/ router to connect internet do u got an idea?

[chili555]

i run command

$ sudo modprobe alx

and nothing happen

When you run a command and nothing happens, it means that the command was executed as requested and there are no errors or warnings to report.

Are you using Network Manager to connect? Are there any settings in there you've added? Usually, NM will handle all details for you without any extra settings.
