Gigabyte motherboard does not detect my Network Adaptor

You can enable the kernel backports and get a new kernel without upgrading the 
whole system.  That might get the driver for you, but how you download that 
without a working nic is another problem.

Does it work if you boot into the live image from the pen drive?


If not, then 10.04 might not support the network adapter on that board - it's 
an Atheros GbE LAN chip, and Atheros chips are known to be difficult under 
Linux. Also that's quite a new chipset and 10.04 is quite old.
There might be a proprietary driver for it (try the Restricted Drivers 
Manager). 


If not then it might be better supported in a newer Kernel - e.g. with 11.10
If that doesn't work then Googling will turn up a number of threads - you may 
need to download and install the driver manually.

Hi Guys,
I've just bought a Gigabyte H61M-DS2 motherboard, installed Kubuntu 10.04.3 
LTS from a pen-drive and now Kubuntu can't see my cable LAN connection.
Any ideas?
Regards

Steve.
