    Hi,

    I downloaded the Ubuntu and the Kubuntu virtual appliance from the VA downloads site.
    I can not get networking up and running at all:

    - for each of the VA, I tried all parallels networking configs. In the bottom status bar of the Parallels window the tooltips says networking is up and running.

    o in Ubuntu:
    - Realtek network driver seems to be loaded.
    odd enough, in the device list, the status is "status" (like for most other devices)
    I tampered with the "Wired interface": Enable, get IP per DHCP.
    ifconfig shows only an IPv6 address and no IPv4 address
    DNS etc. does not work

    o in Kubuntu:
    - couldn't find any traces of an installed Realtek driver
    - couldn't find any reasonable way to install one
    - KNetworkConfig tells me "No active device"
    - ifconfig shows me again an interface just with a IPv6 address with some bytes transferred w/o error

    What am I missing?
    TIA,
    Tom_E
