guys i have a sony vaio with an Atheros AR8151 ethernet card,
I installed ubuntu 10.10 but incidentally, drivers for it are not included and my network card shows up as an unclaimed device
theres a method in which i can downlad the drivers from Atheros, but for compiling them i need the package build-essential.
but without internet, theres no build essential, and without build essential, theres no internet!
what do i do?
 
build-essential is on the desktop cd of ubuntu.. pop it up.. start ur synaptic ..

edit > add cdrom> add the cd ...

install the build essential package from synaptic...

now install the .deb of your netwrk driver..
