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
