Last month i bought a new Laptop. My old HP died. The new Laptop comes with Win 8.
I try to use Win 8 but i think it was not so friendly and honestly it is time to have a Linux Desktop.
I chose Ubuntu and the setup, on the Toshiba P875-S7310, was easy and fast, after i installed an SSD HD and more 8 GB RAM.
The only thing that did not work was the LAN.
How to solve the problem :
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic build-essential
wget http://www.orbit-lab.org/kernel/compat-wireless-3-stable/v3.5/compat-wireless-3.5.1-1-snpc.tar.bz2
tar -xf compat-wireless-3.5.1-1-snpc.tar.bz2
cd compat-wireless-3.5.1-1-snpc
./scripts/driver-select alx
make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe alx
Very nice Ubuntu 12 on my laptop 🙂
