Basic networking problem with Ubuntu 9.04 on Acer Extensa 5635Z laptop

Basic networking problem with Ubuntu 9.04 on Acer Extensa 5635Z laptop I just installed Ubuntu 9.04 on a brand new Acer Extensa 5635Z laptop, but ethernet networking does't work (wireless doesn't work either, but I'd be happy with ethernet for now).

"First off, Ubuntu 9.04 does not currently support the Atheros AR8121/AR8113/AR8114/AR8131/AR8132 PCI-E Ethernet NICs.

To add support, I compiled and installed a kernel module:

Download AR81Family-linux-v1.0.0.10.tar.gz from http://partner.atheros.com/Drivers.aspx
tar -xzvf AR813X-linux-v1.0.0.9.tar.gz
cd src
make
sudo make install
sudo insmod atl1e.ko
service networking restart (wasn't necessary in my case)"
