I have loaded ubuntu 12.10 in sd card and booted it in beagleboard-xm rev c. After startup I entered ifconfig -a, I have found only lo and usb0 connections. I havent found eth0 there. I have connected lan cable from modem to ethernet port.But when i entered  "sudo dhclient eth0", it shows device cannot found. I need internet on my board for updating my packages.Is there anything to do to start internet connection via lan cable? Please help me to solve this issue.

Regards,
Hari

Wouldn't it just be easier to flash a new image onto the sd card?

http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardUbuntu

as "12.10" aka "Quantal" is so old, it isn't even in the repo anymore.

http://ports.ubuntu.com/dists/

So you really don't have any "packages" to update..
