The current atl1e kernel module does not support this network device: 02:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Atheros Communications AR8151 v1.0 Gigabit Ethernet [1969:1073] (rev c0) A newer version is available on http://partner.atheros.com/Download.aspx?id=125 See also http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1476231 Thanks!

I just wanted to raise this topic again. This is becoming a show-stopper for People using the new Sandy-Bridge AUSS Motherboards (P8H67-V in my case). This is the output of lspci -v for the device: 06:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Device 1083 (rev c0) Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Device 847e Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 48 Memory at fb200000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=256K] I/O ports at d000 [size=128] Capabilities: <access denied> Kernel driver in use: atheros_eth Kernel modules: atl1e LAN seems to work with the driver from Atheros "AR81Family-linux-v1.0.1.14". Unfortunately that driver does not yet play well with kernels > 2.6.34. Some minor fiddling is needed. Cheers, Michael
I have to add this is happening on Fedora 14!!!

I don't know where that line saying the kernel module is atl1e came from.
Hello, the line with "Kernel modules: atl1e" was on my local machine. This is the propriatary driver that I have compiled myself. Thus this is NOT standard FC14. Sorry for the confusion! But without this driver my machine currently would have no network connection at all, which in essence would render the box useless ... Cheers, Michael
Just another datapoint: I have compiled the current rawhide kernel (kernel-2.6.38-0.rc2.git7.1.fc14.x86_64.rpm) on the fc14 system assuming that this kernel should work "out-of-the-box". After booting the 2.6.38rc2 kernel the Ethernte Interface is still not detected! Cheers, Michael

It looks like the code that would make the driver load automatically was left out. Can you try this (as root): # modprobe atl1c # echo "1969 1083" >/sys/bus/pci/drivers/atl1c/new_id That should load the driver and bind it to the adapter. Check the system log to see if it worked.
> # modprobe atl1c > # echo "1969 1083" >/sys/bus/pci/drivers/atl1c/new_id plus an "ifconfig eth0 up" This seems to work. The only irritating thing is that I do see a message: [ 206.461648] atl1c 0000:06:00.0: vpd r/w failed. This is likely a firmware bug on this device. Contact the card vendor for a firmware update. in syslog. But besides this the Ethernet Interface seems to work. Thank you! Michael
I've added a fix that should enable autoload in rawhide and sent it upstream.
Thank you! I have checked with kernel-2.6.38-0.rc3.git4.1.fc14.x86_64.rpm (build from rawhead sources) and the ethernet inteface is now detected automatically as expected. Cheers, Michael
I'm going to close this as fixed in rawhide. It's unlikely that a 2.6.38 kernel will ever be made available for F14 or that the driver updates will be backported.
