network card problem

[José Vilmar Estácio de Souza]

Hi.
If memory serves me, I had a similar problem when I used Ubuntu 12.10.

Not sure, but I think the problem was caused by lack of installation of 
header files from the new kernel, which prevented the compilation of 
modules related to this card.

Look for a package named linux-kernel-headers, linux-headers  or 
something of that sort and see if it is installed. I am not sure about 
the correct name.
If it is installed, check if the installed version is compatible with 
the version of the kernel.

Hope that helps.
Thanks.
