A few weeks ago I decided I should enter the Linux world and read that Ubuntu is the most widely used release.
I installed version 11.10 and it worked perfectly.
Just this past week I decided I would do the upgrade to 12.04.
The upgrade process itself worked fine. However, when I logged in I no longer had a network connection.
I am running an AMD-based PC with a D-LINK DFE-530TXS network card and as I said, it worked fine in 11.10.
I have scoured the Internet and come across a thousand slightly varying solutions, but they are too convoluted for someone new to Linux. Not because I can't follow the steps, but because most of the tools/utilities that are referenced (e.g. to compile, install, etc.) are not available when I use the stated steps in the solutions.
So....should I re-install 11.10 or is there hope in getting this version to use the NIC that I know works.
I have the latest driver from d-link for my NIC but I have no idea how to 'install' it for Ubuntu 12.04 to use.
I know you will require additional information, but I wasn't sure what you would need.
Thanks in advance.
