PCLOS 2007 no internet connectivity

[~E8~]

Hello All
Im a Linux n00b.
I jus installed PCLOS 2007. Installation was smooth but Im unable to connect to the net.
The power, link light r "on" but the LAN light is not "on"

Here are the tech specs
Motherboard: ASUS M2N8 VMX
ASUSTeK Computer Inc.

The Onboard LAN is
Attansic L1 Gigabit nic.
I googled for driver
I got this driver SourceForge.net: Attansic L1 Gigabit Ethernet driver
I tried installing but got an error. Found that its not compatible with ther kernel. Updating kernel would resolve the issue.kernel updated to 2.6.24.3 the "LAN" wont turn on. But once i boot into windows, when the loading screen comes LAN light turns "ON".

"LSPCI" output

when i go to control center > network settings> new connection(not sure abt the exact name but somethin meanin the same) I try setting up a new "ethernet" connection it says no devices found. In modify current network setting also it says the same.

Im totally confused & i ve run out of options. Can someone suggest me what i should now.

with google keywords "PCLOS L1" I found a thread.
PCLinuxOS
That person also has a ASUS M2 series motherboard
i found modprobe.conf file should have the alias specified. I updated this line
"alias eth0 atl1"
and viola it works.

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D SO Finally Im online.
