I have a ThinkPad R51e with a Broadcom NetXtreme Fast Ethernet interface and a 11b/g Wireless LAN PCI Adapter and neither one seem to be fully recognized by Ubuntu. The ethernet port works somewhat, but I cannot connect to the Internet, or even my modem, however I can connect to my router.
Also, I can't seem to change the address on the interface for some reason. I can make a new connection, but it is never applied. I'm just stuck with the same 192.168.1.107 /24 address when I look at the network utility in the admin menu.
When I boot into Windows, I can get connected with no issues, regardless of which interface I use.
Any suggestions/things I should know?
I've also posted this on the Ubuntu Forums, but I usually get faster replies here.
