Is it an onboard NIC?

I could never get the Realtek based onboard NIC in my XBMC box to work using WOL on Ubuntu.
Gave up and ended up getting an Intel card and it worked first go.
How Can i check if there is an onboard Nic ??

What puzzles me is it works when i boot up win 7 ón same machine.
Onboard is integrated with the motherboard.

Run in a terminal:

Code:
lspci | grep -i eth

and paste the output.
That should show the controller type.
Result:
Code:
01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications AR8151 v1.0 Gigabit Ethernet (rev c0)
Does the NIC remain powered on when you switch off (ie does it have a green light)?

Yes the NIC remains power and I can see it blinks orange when computer is suspended and I try to wake it up via magick package...

Frustrating !!! :-(
I think my NIC is on
Code:
14. RP01      S5    *disabled  pci:0000:00:1c.0

but when I run

Code:
sudo acpitool -W 14

It remains disabled ?!Huh
Your NIC is on:

Code:
PXSX      S5    *enabled   pci:0000:01:00.0

Looks ok....
Yeah, so I am really confused as why it don't work :-(((
Bumpy - No one ??
