Magazine reviewers and bloggers are not a reliable source for anything.
Once you rename your hostname.if, the network should work - either way that's when you should start diagnosing any further problems with your network. Also during install, if you select the correct device and select DHCP it should acquire an address and connect to your network - not guaranteed of course, you could have unsupported hardware.
Until you provide a dmesg, it's all speculative.
