internet and a onboard lan in asus m2n-mx se

Hi!

Recently I have changed my motherboard to an asus m2n-mx se, wich have lan onboard...
My previous motherboard had lan onboard too (asus a7v600-x), and I have used it with dhcp without problems...

But now, I am trying to use dhcp and is not working...

maybe hwdetect is not detecting the onboard land and do not load that module?

I saw this on the wiki "If for some reason dhcpcd eth0 fails, install dhclient (pacman -Sy dhclient) and use 'dhclient eth0' instead."
(but I have no tried it yet)

Any idea?
What can I do?

TIA, and sorry for the bad english

What does lspci return?

lspci | grep -i ethernet

Re: internet and a onboard lan in asus m2n-mx se

well, its strange... but it is working now
and I have not done anything...

maybe it is a windows logout then linux login issue...
or maybe a hardware/driver issue (I read somewhere in this forum about lan going away after a while, etc...)
