I think, the driver is conflicting with ethernet controller.. I have some questions. Is the ethernet not working from the first boot itself (mean after installing ubuntu 12.10) or after you made any changes for wireless drives or something ? Is the ethernet worked in previous versions of ubunu / fedora / redhat or any linux distros ? If it is worked , what is the distro, kernel version and driver? I think the new intel driver are doesn't have backward compatibility with your ethernet controller (not sure). OK. First of all, Go to the directory where you installed e1000e / e1000, remove the modules by, make uninstall And check with kernel driver e1000e itself (Don't use the external driver downloaded from intel). If it is not working again, we have to do some kernel patches to make it work. -- Regards Vignesh Rajendran* **“ Learning never exhausts the mind ” -- Leonardo da Vinci -- * _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
