It would have been more helpful if the wireless adapter had been installed
at the time. But your ability to connect with your neighbor's AP makes
the `lspci` output redundant.

One problem with Linux is that it does not correctly probe the PCI bus and
consistently determine which network interface is eth0 and which is eth1.
Since you have two network interfaces it might be advisable to look into
using the userland utility "nameif".

And, no, I cannot help with that utility. If I require two or more NICs
on a machine I use an OS other than Linux.
