Bug#664461: [squeeze] atl1c: AR8152: "transmit queue 0 timed out" and network is unusable until reset
Hi Jonath
For backport of atl1c/alx, you could get the driver from
http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/networking/alx
or go directly to
http://www.orbit-lab.org/kernel/compat-wireless-2.6/2012/
thanks
Xiong
