it is a very popular module for the network card of more than just a few LG laptops (many lenovo use it as well) its not clear to me why it is not an "out of the box support" in a distribution like ubuntu that marked on its flag the simpleness of installation.
furthermore, even if you are a linux geek, you are stuck in some sort of a catch 22. in order to have internet--> you need the driver || in order to get the driver --> you need the internet..... :) and then starts the trouble of defining usb disk on keys and tons of hell i don't understand why they just won't put it as an out of the box thingy. i mean, even if its license is a bit problematic from what i understand it is possible to put it as a restricted driver which only those who are interested will install, much like they do with ati drivers. (which is yet another tidiouse problem for those of you with readon xxxxx cards) -- [needs packaging] et131x driver for Agere ET131x gigabit ethernet cards https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/102291 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
