Re: Request for some network help, please.

Hi William,

Are you able to provide more information in regards to you
connectivity trouble? eg. connectivity dropouts, cannot connect, no
network interface etc.

Furthermore, can you post an output from the following commands to
help us better assess your situation:

$ nm-tool
$ lsmod
$ lspci -v | grep Ethernet
$ sudo iwconfig

thank you

Lubos
