Internal Marvell ethernetI just got a new Toshiba Satellite A205-S4607 laptop and I can't get the built-in wired ethernet to work. Mepis 6.5 just doesn't see it. According to lspci it's a Marvell 4353 (rev14). Any ideas? kumar »

No I didn't as I thought
No I didn't as I thought ndiswrapper was just for wireless. I was rather shocked by it not working as I have never failed to get an internal or PCI card ethernet to work right out of the box. It's not exactly new tech...
That was only one issue I had with that notebook. None of the tricks for HDA audio worked, the wireless worked using ndiswrapper, but was frequently dropping the connection with no errors, and the interal DS card slot didn't work.
Anyway, I ended up taking the notebook back and exchanging it for an HP with AMD X2 and nVidia chips. Happily, everything worked right out of the box with Mepis32 6.5.02.
Thanks for responding. I'll try to remember that tip in case I come across it again.
