I've just got switched to ubuntu and I can't find a driver for my network adapter, it's a Realtek RTL 8139 model, I found a driver saying linux for the OS I downloaded it, I t was a very small download, only 17kb I transfered to my other pc (the one with Ubuntu on) Via USB storage card but nothing happened, it never picked up the software
I also have a wireless card but again I can't find the right software for it, it's inventel and usually comes with a wanadoo package.
Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks

some times there is a simple setting for the eth card that needs to be enabled I have been there on fedora core and some other odd ball distros but ubunut has always just worked
when in dought try a couple other distros and see if they work better with your hardware

Try this, in a Terminal type:
sudo gedit /etc/modules
(put in password)
Create a new line and type
8139too
8139cp
(reboot)
