Coincidence...?  Well here I have a eee PC 701 with on-board Atheros L2 etc etc. 
 Recently tried a couple of Linux Live distros on USB stick as they are always being 
raved about.  One of them didn't want to use the wireless so I plugged in hard-wired 
Ethernet and it worked fine.  

When I Re-booted to Windows 2000 sp4, which is on the SDD of the eee PC, behold: 
the Ethernet is apparently dead, although Windows just says it is disconnected.  
No lights on the router though :-(  Have I just trashed Ethernet on my eeePC..?
