Hello,
did you try:

# sudo ifconfig ath0/wlan0 up

(dont know exactly if it is ath0, or wlan0, try both )
Hope that works!

Hmmm... I thought "Fast Ethernet" referred strictly to wired connections.

Anyway, step one, you gotta run the following command:

sudo ifconfig -a

This will give you a list of all the currently recognised network interfaces on your computer.

If your network card isn't listed, then there's two possible problems:

1) Your hardware's broken. If you network card works fine in MS-Windows then you can be about 95% sure that you don't have a hardware problem.

2) You haven't got the appropriate drivers loaded for your network card. Do a web search for "ubuntu [name of your network card]".

However If your network card is listed, then follow this guide to get it going:
