I have attached the output(lspci.n) of this command with this mail.

I ran "ifconfig -a" to find that there is no "eth0" interface, instead 
there is "pan0". Here is the output of the command:

I updated my /etc/network/interfaces file and it looks like this now:

I ran "/etc/init.d/networking restart"  and got this:

But the computer didn't get hooked to the internet.

I have attached the output of "dmesg" command (after updating the 
/etc/init.d/interfaces file and restarting the computer) with this mail.

Is there any other information needed that will help nail down the 
problem ?

I thank you.
