    When I restart my network as per the Perfect Setup tutorial, I get the following errors:
    Code:
    root@ww2:~# /etc/init.d/networking restart

       ...done.
    After looking at other posts in the forum, it looks like I'm missing the module for my NIC, but how do I figure out which module I need? I am running Ubuntu Feisty Fawn on a Dell Dimension 4100. I can still access the internet, and everything else seems to work fine.

    Thanks.

    What's the output of
    Code:
    ifconfig
    ?
    Do you see the same errors when you reboot the system?
