Installing Driver for Ethernet Atheros Commuications AR8162

After I installed ubuntu I noticed a few major problems. The first is that I do not have any internet connection, neither ethernet nor wifi. So I needed to find out how to fix that.
First, I found out what controllers are installed using the lspci command.
The output (last two lines) gave me the following:
Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 2230 (rev c4)
Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR8162 Fast Ethernet (rev 10)

After googling around, I found out that the driver for the ethernet is not installed on my system, so I need to do that manually. As I did not have an internet connection, I downloaded the driver from this website. According to the forum post above, I need to use the following file:
compat-wireless-2012-02-28-p.tar.bz2

I saved it onto a flash drive and copied it onto the Desktop. Then I ran the following commands:

cd ~/Desktop
tar -xvf compat-wireless-2012-02-28-p.tar.bz2
cd compat-wireless-2012-02-28-p
scripts/driver-select alx
make
sudo make install

I got a lot of output, some referencing to the grub bootloader and Windows 7, so I rebooted into Windows 7 to check everything was still ok, which it was. I then booted back into ubuntu, and voila, the ethernet connection was working.

I then ran an update of Ubuntu using

sudo apt-get update
