this email and add the output of
ifconfig -a
there, as well. It's a good chance someone can be faster and/or give you a
better reply than mine, so let's not defeat the sole purpose of the list:
keeping
discussions public, so others can benefit from the good advices, too.

Sorry I,m using the gmail internet interface & am not used to it.
I also am including the output below. It seems the correct driver is being
loaded & I changed the etc/network interfaces to this now. It is the
factory setup for a single card.lspci |grep Ethernet stayed the same after
I rebooted the system. I also did dmesg |grep Ethernet & got the results
below:
-----------------------------------
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
allow-hotplug eth0
iface lo inet loopback
