There is also a wifi port; and that seems to be working -- If I click the
connection icon I see a list of the various available wifi hotspots in the
neighborhood. But I think the AR8161L is a wired device (and there is
_some_ wired device there -- I mean, there's an RJ-45 jack through which
Windows was getting to the internet). The entry on the motherboard spec
sheet says:
Network
LAN: 1000-Base-T
Interface: Integrated into motherboard
Technology: Atheros AR8161L
Data transfer speeds: up to 10/100/1000 Mb/s
Transmission standards: 1000-Base-T Ethernet
According to
http://www.jfdesignnet.com/?p=2133 it will show up in
lspci as something like this:
04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Device 1091 (rev 10)
And really is an ethernet controller.
See my other mail to the list for further suggestions on getting it working.
