JeremyB Unfortunately, no luck. The headers were actually installed, but I reinstalled them sudo aptitude reinstall linux-headers-generic and rebooted. The network setting panel indicates Ethernet and Proxy only. I added a WiFi connection to the network connections, hoping that this may help. I did notice that there is no MAC address.
