Thread: AR8132 Ethernet Disabled on EeePC

i installed ubuntu (10.04.2, server edition) on asus 1015pem eeepc. installer complained not having internet connectivity appeared complete notwithstanding. on booting up, don't have ethernet connectivity.

code:

any suggestions on how ubuntu recognize ethernet adapter? if load module atl1c lshw output changes:

code:

i notice in full output of lshw (without -c network), there usb controller has resource

code:

irq:19

well. perhaps conflict? perhaps need disable controller? (usb:1)
