Atheros AR8151 ethernet not working

Installed 10.04 on an Acer TimelineX 3820TG but can't get the ethernet to work.

Code:

$ sudo lshw -C network

*-network UNCLAIMEDdescription: Ethernet controllerproduct: AR8151 v1.0 Gigabit Ethernetvendor: Atheros Communicationsphysical id: 0bus info: pci@0000:03:00.0version: c0width: 64 bitsclock: 33MHzcapabilities: pm msi pciexpress vpd bus_master cap_listconfiguration: latency=0resources: memory:f0400000-f043ffff ioport:3000(size=128)

Tried to add atl1e to /etc/modules with no luck.

The driver from http://partner.atheros.com/Download.aspx?id=125 won't work either (error in script on make).

Any suggestions?

It makes perfectly for me. You need build-essential and linux headers-generic. You also need to precede to 'make' with 'sudo su.'

I got the linux headers-generic installed.And the driver should already be in the kernel:/lib/modules/2.6.32-22-generic/kernel/drivers/net/atl1e/atl1e.ko

What driver are you using for the AR8151?

I do not have the device; I was merely pointing out that the version you can download from Atheros will make correctly.

I believe the pci.id for your device is 1969:1073. Verify with:Code:

lspci -nn

If so, your device is not supported in the built-in version of atl1e, but is inthe version you can build from what you downloaded:Code:

# modinfo atl1efilename: /lib/modules/2.6.32-22-generic/kernel/drivers/net/atl1e/atl1e.koversion: 1.0.1.9

description: Atheros Gigabit Ethernet driversrcversion: D92F5696BBDCDFE391F4C3Falias: pci:v00001969d00002062sv*sd*bc*sc*i*alias: pci:v00001969d00001073sv*sd*bc*sc*i*--- snip ---

Post back if you get stuck.

Yes, it says 1969:1073:

lspci -nn03:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Atheros Communications AR8151 v1.0 Gigabit Ethernet [1969:1073] (rev c0)

When I run make (as root) from the downloaded driver src folder I get this error:

/bin/sh: Syntax error: "(" unexpectedmake: *** [default] Error 2

The correct Makefile is in the directory above. I notice that untarring the tar.gz splatters stuff all over the /home directory; bad practice, in my opinion. Let's try this:Code:

mkdir AR81Familymv AR81Family-Linux-v1.0.1.9.tar.gz AR81Family

cd AR81Familytar zxvf AR81Family-Linux-v1.0.1.9.tar.gzsudo sumake installmodprobe atl1eexit

As I said before, you must have build-essential installed.

gzip: stdin: decompression OK, trailing garbage ignoredtar: Child returned status 2tar: Beende mit Fehlerstatus aufgrund vorheriger Fehler

OH w0000t?!I ignored this echo of the terminal and continued with sudo make install and itworked ._.without the need of a restart ö_öI'm heavily impressed of ubuntuthank you man

but now I have one additional question:can you imagine why my sound is not working anymore when i plug in external speakers?

and when i unplug them i can hear the system sounds again...Last edited by audiocrush; June 3rd, 2010 at 04:41 PM..
