Dell Inspiron N7010 ethernet
Hi guys.
I have Dell inspiron N7010 with installed Atheros AR8152 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller. Does it mean that my LAN card communicates only at 10/100 MBps?
I need a Gigabit LAN. What should I do?
That's what i found
Compatible Products:
Atheros AR81xx Series PCI-E Ethernet Controller
- AR8121/AR8113/AR8114 Atheros PCI-E Ethernet Controller - PCI \ VEN_1969 & DEV_1026
- Atheros AR8131 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller - PCI \ VEN_1969 & DEV_1063
- Atheros AR8132 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller - PCI \ VEN_1969 & DEV_1062
- Atheros AR8151 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller - PCI \ VEN_1969 & DEV_1073, PCI \ VEN_1969 & DEV_1083
- Atheros AR8152 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller - PCI \ VEN_1969 & DEV_2060, PCI \ VEN_1969 & DEV_2062
So to have Gbit LAN should I instal Atheros AR8131 or Atheros AR8151 ethernet controller?
I don't know english very well, sorry for mistakes and help me please, it's very important.

The onboard controller is 10/100 - and since there's no Express Card slot, you have only two options:
Return the system and buy a higher-end model, or
Use a USB 2.0 gigabit adapter:
