Hello myrainmann

Here for you the situation on this issue under the bugs,
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux
Attansic wired network drivers need to be manually compiled

Computer: Acer Aspire One AOD250
Ethernet Controller: Attansic Technology Corp. Device [1969:1062] (rev c0)
Distro: Kubuntu 9.04 with the KDE 4.3 update
Description: Ubuntu 9.04
Release: 9.04

The wired network drivers are not included in the distro. However, they can be manually compiled following the instructions from a forum post. It would be grand if there was a way these could at least be pointed to so the drivers can be downloaded and built by the system if needs be (kind of like the Broadcom wireless drivers).

Thank you
Amir.

installed and uninstalled packages listed but no luck will just reinstall. Wired internet works just not wireless so weird stopped so suddenly. Thanks for trying to help I will learn someday.

[Admin-Amir]

Did you install the packages,then Restart the machine?
And then when you have try to connect to hidden Network there was no network in eth0-eth1?
