I use a laptop, and have only just been able to finally connect an ethernet cable to it. However, ethernet doesn't work on Linux, returning this "Cable Unplugged" message, whereas it does work on dual-booted Windows.

I tried running "lspci -v" to get a list of where my drivers were located, but I could not find any entry for "Ethernet controller," or something of the like. That being said, I'm assuming I just don't have an Ethernet driver?? and I was wondering how I get one :)
