[SOLVED] No wired connection on netbook

[graphicks]

I have a Dell Mini 9 using the Ubuntu Remix. I can connect to the web using wireless, but not with the ethernet cable connected to the netbook.

When I use network tools, and try to configure eth0 (after manually entering my IP address, etc) I get "Interface does not exist"

Any ideas?

I think your problem is widespread. See this thread for more. If it is the same problem, the fix seems to be upgrading kernel.

I appreciate the info Dapper Dan. That answers my problem.

I'll mark this solved (even though I haven't yet), because it is answered. I know where to begin now.

Thanks again.
