I wrote to Asus (my laptop maker), and they responded that they can only help 
with setting up the original hardware and software, and they cannot help if i 
have installed Linux, because the laptop was sold with Windows.  I wrote to 
them again explaining that it looks like there is a hardware problem.  I am 
waiting for an answer, but taking into account that Ethernet works under 
Windows 7, i imagine they can keep refusing to take care of my problem.

Could you recommend me by any chance some tests to run under Windows and some 
Intel Ethernet Connection documentation to demonstrate to Asus that i have a 
hardware problem?

Thanks,

- Alexey.
