Need wired driver for an Atheros AR8152

  • 772

I have bought a new Dell Inspiron N4010 laptop with Windows 7 installed. I have installed Ubuntu via Wubi. I am using a BSNL Broadband connection with a ZXDSL 831A11 modem.

Internet is working fine in Windows 7. But after logging into Ubuntu, I am not able to get an internet connection. There is no eth0 connection active. And my network card is : Atheros AR8152 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller

Some more info by googling : http://www.downloadatoz.com/driver/articles/download-atheros-ar8152-fast-ethernet-controller-driver-for-dell-laptops.html

Any way to obtain this driver for Ubuntu?

10.04 networking drivers

  2. This is a guess so please update your question if you try this and it doesn't work but it worked for this person with a similar card so maybe we'll get lucky and the updated wireless driver will pull in one for the NIC.

    Install linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic

    sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic

    and then reboot and try it.
