Hi
I have just installed Kubuntu 6.10 amd64 on my Windows XP PC. everything went well except that it couldn,t see my LAN connection for the internet and my on-board sound. The sound can wait, but I need the internet. It's a bit like losing a hand without it.
I have run ifconfig with this result:
link encap: Local Loopback
inet addr: 127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
RX bytes:0(0.0b) TX bytes:0 (0.0b)
I'm not sure what this means and I hope I've copied it correctly. (Haven't figured out how to print yet.)
My pc is only about 3 months old and according to my mobo user guide my chipset is: NVIDIA nForce 430/GeForce 6100
It also lists my LAN as: ATTANSIC gigabit LAN PHY
I hope someone understands all this and can help me
Many thanks
