Bug#500065: linux-image-2.6.26-1-amd64: Please add support for Attansic Technology Corp. L2 100 Mbit Ethernet Adapter
Package: linux-image-2.6.26-1-amd64
Version: 2.6.26-5
Severity: wishlist
Hi, my mother (Asus P5LD2-X) has an Attansic Technology Corp. L2 100 Mbit
Ethernet Adapter onboard but I am not able to use it with current 2.6.26 kernel.
I found a patch at: http://people.redhat.com/csnook/atl2/, and applied it to
vanilla 2.6.26.2 (it applied cleany) and make my network card work ok. I am
using the kernel with this patch applied since a month ago and with no problem
at all.
If I am not wrong, it would be merged into 2.6.28 [1] and [2])
Also, as http://people.redhat.com/csnook/atl2/ says, seems that fedora is
shipping with support for this network card.
Please consider applying it, as its going to be merged upstream and other
distros are shipping with this patch.
If you want me to test something or there's some other way I can help,
please let me
know.
Thanks a lot,
Rodrigo
