Have you any idea about this?
My card is onboard.
Is an usb ethernet adapter suitable? Like this http://is.gd/e6BR7
thank you.
You called an engineer or computer tech in your area and had them look at it? They'll let you know what's wrong and if it's cheap to replace the part? It might not be worth it anyways since I remember seeing that laptop back in 200(7-8). I came in too late, but have you tried switching to the wireless chipset? Technically, unless you're doing network transfers your wireless G can out speed your public facing connection anyways (unless you're on Gigabit, FiOS [depending], etc...) so it might be worth it. Anyways, be careful of which usb ethernet cable you use.
