I have bought a new Dell Inspiron N4010 laptop with Windows 7 installed. I have installed Ubuntu via Wubi. I am using a BSNL Broadband connection with a ZXDSL 831A11 modem.

Internet is working fine in Windows 7. But after logging into Ubuntu, I am not able to get an internet connection. There is no eth0 connection active. And my network card is : Atheros AR8152 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller

Some more info by googling : http://www.downloadatoz.com/driver/articles/download-atheros-ar8152-fast-ethernet-controller-driver-for-dell-laptops.html

Any way to obtain this driver for Ubuntu?

  is your modem connected via USB oder viva LAN (RJ45) to the notebook?

  Are you using network manager for connecting internet?Post the output of ifconfig -a and cat /etc/network/interfaces in pastebin and give the link.

  Manually add the following in your interfaces file..sudo /etc/network/interfaces auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static mtu 1500 address 192.168.1.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255
