Do you see an eth0 entry in 'ifconfig'?

Ubuntu should have loaded a module for the NIC. Check out 'lsmod' to see if you see anything that looks like the driver. Otherwise, try looking through /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/drivers for a module for your NIC. You can can use 'modinfo' to obtain information about the module, which might help.

You could also google the laptop model for a module name. That way you don't need to look through modinfo trying to locate the right one.
