Sorry for missing info, I'm newbie!

I confirm that the issue depends from alx.

I had installed compat-wireless from source but "make uninstall" now was 
unable to remove 
/lib/modules/3.2.0-4-amd64/updates/drivers/net/ethernet/atheros/alx.
So, I've done a manual removing (rm) of this alx then, for my own 
knowledge, reinstalled linux-image. After reboot all come back to work fine.
