Hello,
I have an Asus G73SW laptop and I'm not able to connect to the internet by wire on Ubuntu 14.04. Wireless connection works fine.
First of all, I can't find any Ethernet controller when I type the command lspci, but the Network controller is there:

04:00.0 USB controller: Fresco Logic FL1000G USB 3.0 Host Controller (rev 04)
I checked BIOS to see if Ethernet connection was off there but I could not find an option for this there. Is it possible that in my case the Ethernet controller is integrated on the motherboard?
When I type ifconfig -a I realize there is no "eth0" but I guess it is there renamed as "wmx0":

Command sudo lswh -C network returns:

And finally command mii-tool -vv returns:
Code:

Any ideas of how can I solve this problem?
Thanks in advance,
