I need to know what hardware I have and if it is working. Specifically, every time I try to upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04, I lose my internet connection and have to do a clean install of 11.10 when the connection magically reappears. I have tried the upgrade page on the Software Center and the Alternate CD(my computer won't accept the live CD)all the while trying to select to keep my current settings. My driver is ne2k- pci which is supposed to work with 12.04. Here is what I have on 11.10 which works and I forgot to run it when I installed 12.04.

It used to work smoothly with Gutsy, Hardy and Intrepid but it hasn't been set up correctly during the upgrade to Jaunty and the automatic installation of Network Manager (I didn't use NM with previous versions). Initially there were no connections defined in Network Manager and "Wired - Device not managed" appeared in gray when right-clicking on the NM-applet icon. I tried to solve it by changing managed=false to managed=true in /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf Thereafter Network Manager automatically detected eth1 and the DSL connection but it's still unable to connect; I always receive the message "Wired Network disconnected - you're now working offline" on a black background.
