Dear Mikkel,

the output of the command ifconfig -a is as follows:


[sabina at sabina-linux archivio]$ sudo ifconfig -a

is pan0 my LAN device not working?
I have some doubts because,  always about the new motherboard, when I start 
the live version of Fedora 19, and I was recognized as the network (and was 
working), the MAC address of the LAN device (obtained with the command ifconfig 
-a) was different.
How do I configure this network adapter?

Thanks in advance,
Best regards,

Giovanni
