Hi Sam, if Windows is right the WAN miniport is a L2TP whatever
that is. The CPU is Intel and can step down in speed from about
2791 MHz. Since you have two laptops working can you point me to
any help you used? I have the latest kernel 3232 that has a lot of
stuff in modules and I can get them to work if I knew how.
It's worth checking the output of the "lspci" command under linux.
For example, mine includes these lines:
02:01.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82540EP Gigabit
Ethernet Controller (Mobile) (rev 03)
02:02.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG
Network Connection (rev 05)
The bottom one is my WiFi interface.
My /etc/modprobe.conf file says (amongst other things):
alias eth0 e1000
alias eth1 ipw2200
which causes the command "modprobe eth1" to load the ipw2200 module.
I'd imagine the "system-config-network" command should figure this
out on its
own for the common cases. How's it do for you?
Well mine is no where as clear as yours. I have two so called
ethernet cards in my laptop. One is a Atheros Communications Inc. and
the other is a Realtek Semiconductor Co. so I'm not sure which is
what. Guess I will run both through Google.

Sheesh.
Why don't you post the output from lspci so everyone can see it.
You probably have a NIC (Network Interface Card) as well as a WiFI card.
I would suspect the Atheros is the WiFi but with no evidence it is
hard to know.
You are right. It is the Atheros because it has MAC811 in it's name
and the other one is the eth0 ethernet divice. So I know the name of my
device, how do I use that to select a proper driver from the many?
As for posting the whole list, It is on a laptop with no Internet. I
could make a file of it and put it on a Flash drive, bring it to this
computer and add it to a message. Too much work.
