Greetings,
I recently installed Unbuntu 9.04 on an external hard drive and it seems to not be recognizing my Ethernet card. I have (what windows reports to be) an Intel Pro 1000 PL card that is embedded on a D975BX2 motherboard (intel quad core 975 processor). I have looked at many threads regarding this issue, and was ultimately led to Intel's download website http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Default.aspx where they have many linux drivers but none for the Pro 1000 PL.
Is there something simple I am missing. I am linux semi-noob, first home install, but use it frequently at school.
my output from lspci is as follows:
