Bug#703142: compatibility with alx ?

[Camaleón <noelamac@gmail.com>]

Ben,

I experienced the same problem with brcmsmac (complete details and logs 
are on the kernel backports mailing list¹). Also, after running 
"make install" the intel driver was replaced by VESA and gnome-shell 
failed to load as a result of installing the compat-drivers 
("make uninstall" reverted the problem but leaves the main one).

Using Debian's stock network driver is not an option for me (full report 
available here²) so I have to try with the latests drivers but now that 
"compat-drivers" are compiled the generated modules cannot be loaded. 

Is there any by-pass for this?
