Hi everyone,
I am quite new to both Kubuntu and Linux. You can say i just started using linux yesterday. So my questions may seem absurd, but hey, i am the newbie right?
Why did i start using linux? Actually i had to, because "Caldera Rip software" doesn't work with any other OS, but Kubuntu 8.04.
So, if we get over the introduction part;
I installed Kubuntu 8.04 and the Caldera softrip(don't ask "how did you even do that", i managed to do it some how, with some help), but my computer says you don't have any network/ethernet card installed. Well, i know, i have one and running, because it works fine with windows boot. I searched a lot before opening the thread, but couldn't find an easy guide for "hey, i don't know what i am doing" people(yes, people like me). Actually i don't need my ethernet for internet connection but to plug my wide format printing machine(it works only with Ethernet/Lan cable). I guess if i can make the ethernet card work, then i can solve the rest by my self.
By reading the New Guy guide, i learned that you need some info before you can start to help me, so here it is;
My ethernet card is : Atheros AR8152 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller(NDIS 6.20)
intel core i3 cpu M380@2.53ghz
3 gb ram

Description: GRand Unified Bootloader
GRUB is a GPLed bootloader intended to unify bootloading across x86
operating systems. In addition to loading the Linux kernel,
it implements the Multiboot standard, which allows for flexible loading
of multiple boot images (needed for modular kernels such as the GNU Hurd).
