Tha's weired. Apparently Ubuntu 8.10 kernel includes Agere driver since my laptop perfectly works ever since I installed Ubuntu 8.10.
But when I try the "fund_usrps" while monitoring the network packet, nothing goes out though eth0 (Agere ET131). Unfortunately, my laptop does only has a PCMCIA slot, and my desktop does not have GigE, either. Well, maybe I can buy a low cost GigE card with a PCI interface for the laptop, but the thing is that I'd like to work on my laptop...
