Ok first off... Make sure you have the drivers for your NIC... Secondly, if the internet connection is not made on start up; in your terminal type "dhclient" to force your dhcp client to get a connection, then type "ifconfig" to see if you are connected... (btw dhclient is the more used dhcp client, though there are others)

What linux distro are you using? For some you can probably find it going through the gui, some you have to find on your own... Plus most of the time, you don't need the correct drivers, cause it will still work... Just depends on the distro... Also did you try the commands I said from before?
