This unit ships with three different wireless chipsets so first of all we need to determine which one you have to see if it's supported with your kernel. If you have the Atheros 8151 chipset, then that could be an issue because support was only just committed for that chipset with the 3.1.x kernel so you would probably need to upgrade your kernel unless you were comfortable with compiling from source.

As far as your LAN, that should be working. If you post the output of lspci, ifconfig and dmesg it would probably help narrow down the options.
