When I originally got internet service my ethernet port was not turned on. Found this thread How do I install drivers for the Atheros AR8161 Ethernet controller?, followed directions under answer 1 and it enabled my ethernet port. Now, the problem is that every time I disconnect the ethernet cable or restart my computer, I have to go through the process all over again to enable my ethernet port. How do I make this change permanent so that my ethernet port remains on? I'm running Xubuntu 12.04 64-bit.

Try:

echo alx | sudo tee /etc/modules

This will add the module to the /etc/modules file, so it loads automatically, and so you don't have to run the sudo modprobe alx command every time.
