[PLUG] Gutsy upgrade on HP tx1000 internet issue

[kurt braget]

I'm not really familiar with network terminology. I'm trying to learn. Here
is the ifconfig output from the machine I'm on now, a laptop with openSUSE
10.3.I've never really had an issue like this, that' probably the main
reason I'm not familiar. The HP tx1000 has Vista on it and it find the
internet fine. openSUSE on an old toshiba (output below) find both ethernet
and wireless. I'm not trying to do anything complicated, just want internet.
I think the same subnet is fine.
