Bug Description
I noticed that from Ubuntu Edgy and previous versions of Ubuntu, there is no driver for the Attansic Ethernet card. To enable this driver, you must be using Edgy and have the motherboard manufacturer's driver CD - otherwise, you won't have internet, which greatly would limit the use of Ubuntu. You must be using Edgy, as it installs default with the Build-Essential package - which is needed to "make install" this driver.
I suggest this driver be added in future kernel updates.
Ciao.

P.S. - Here is the proprietary driver for the ATL1 device (taken from my ASUS P5L-MX driver cd).
