Basic networking problem with Ubuntu 9.04 on Acer Extensa 5635Z laptop
- by sapporo
I just installed Ubuntu 9.04 on a brand new Acer Extensa 5635Z laptop, but ethernet networking does't work (wireless doesn't work either, but I'd be happy with ethernet for now).
eth0 isn't listed in /etc/network/interfaces:
$ cat /etc/network/interfaces
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
lshw does show the nic, but I can't make much sense out of the information:
$ sudo lshw -class network -sanitize
