Re: ASUS P5GC-MX mother board - Attensic network card

Excuse my stepping in here.  If you go to the Linux Questions forum website and google there for your network card, there are some links to modules which can be added to the kernel that will permit this card to be used.  I am not sure if they work with all distros and releases, but there are links there for a lot of them including the Ubuntu distros prior to Gutsy - and the Ubuntu distros prior to Gutsy are based on Debian.  You should be able to find one that works or a link to one that can be used.  You might also check with Atheros since Atheros bought Attansic and is marketing the same network card with the same name.  They might have a downloadable module you can use.

 I am also using an ASUS board with Attansic network card. Kernel 2.6.18
 does not support this card. Why not install 2.6.2[234] on your machine?
 One of them might even be available from backports?

Dear Sridhar,
Thanks for the response. I tried compiling with downloaded source for
atl2 after installing build-essential. I get msg linux kernel source
not found stop. Is yours attansic L2 network card? Does the driver
compile with any of  2.6.2[234]. What kernel you used and whether it
has direct support or you have compiled driver. If compiled from where
did you get the source? Kindly reply. TIA.
