[CentOS] Atheros Communications Inc. AR8161 Gigabit Ethernet
Dear All,
first of all I must admit I posted this problem on the CentOs forum
yesterday, with 0 replies so far. :-(
I'm googling this problem all weekend, and getting a bit desperate actually.
I'm working on a new Dell Vostro 3460.
It has a Atheros Communications Inc. AR8161 Gigabit Ethernet carc that I
cannot get to work.
There's no enty in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net-rules or in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts for wired network.
The laptop has Centos6.3 fully updated, lspci -v shows :
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR8161 Gigabit
Ethernet (rev 10)
Subsystem: Dell Device 0562
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 11
Memory at d0400000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=256K]
I/O ports at 2000 [size=128]
Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 3
Capabilities: [58] Express Endpoint, MSI 00

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I found a CentOs6 post here
:http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/atheros-not-working-905849/
that mentions a sollution by installing the AR81Family. I cannot find that.
I installed kmod-atl1e from ELREPO, as mentioned in this post:
http://www.mail-archive.com/scientific-linux-users at
listserv.fnal.gov/msg11838.html
that enabled wlan0, but no eht0 showing up.
Several posts point me to this site
:http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/networking/alx
I downloaded the tarball but cannot get it compiled !.
I untarred it .
Next I run #./scripts/driver-select alx
Then I cannot get past make. EM :

part of the EM is in Dutch, sorry for that.
I googled the EM from the make-command, and found somewhere that I would need a
patch for Red Hat
Can anyone help met get the alx kernel module or at least get past the make
command?
Help would be greatly appreciated.
greetings, James
