Aspire One - Wireless Ok/Lan Not

[c0da]

Hi,

I installed Ubuntu 8.04, the wireless was working out of the box, but I have no clue how to go online with my ethernet lan cable. I plugged it in but nothing happened. I installed the network manager, but couldn't find the symbol to start this tool.

Can someone help me to get this problem solved?

To start NetworkManager:

sudo /etc/init.d/NetworkManager start

but I'm guessing this isn't the problem

To start the NetworkManager applet in GNOME:

nm-applet
