[Voyage-linux] Having trouble with DHCP settings

[Arun Reddy]

Sorry, I just realized I didn't post this to the list!

Under Ethernet controller, it says: Digital Equipment Corporation DECchip
21140. It says it's an unknown device.

My computer has the following Network Adapters (found from the Windows
Device Manager, since I am running Voyage in a VPC):

Atheros Wireless Network Adapter
Intel(R) 82566MM Gigabit Platform LAN Connect

Is there a way to add these? Also in the VPC network settings I chose
Atheros Wireless Network Adapter. This works fine with my standard Debian OS
I have running in another VPC.
