HP A10 needs new ALX GB ethernet driver module; no ALX in config.3.6.8
(Please disregard my earlier email, some mystery hotkey I hit sent it)
My HP A10 ethernet is not working on K704.
lspci shows AR8161 GB ethernet.
I have not yet updated to kernel 3.6.8, but I found this:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1205207
alx: Atheros AR8131/AR8151/AR8152/AR8161 Ethernet driver
It is able to support Atheros AR8131/AR8151/AR8152/AR8161 ethernet adapter.
+config ALX
+ tristate "Atheros ALX Gigabit Ethernet support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
obj-$(CONFIG_ATL1C) += atl1c/
+obj-$(CONFIG_ALX) += alx/
AFAIKT the config.3.6.8 in the new kernel has no ALX;
As the next Knoppix is fast approaching,
I am hoping that this new driver is available.
Thanks
Charles
