There is just a time gap between when the last message was issued, and when the first kenel boot message appears. Your ethernet card should be discovered, and assuming you have the ethernet plugged into a working jack with dhcp, you should become connected to ethernet.Īssuming this is the case, modify your /etc/modules file so that this module is loaded at startup by adding the following lines at the end.Īnd you're good to go. Now test that the module works by inserting it into the running kernel.

Now make and assuming no errors arise, install the package. Patch -dry-run -p2 < /path/to/compat-patch.txt Untar the tarball into a convenient location, and apply the patch making sure to use the -dry-run option to make sure there are no errors. You will need to download the compat-wireless-p tarball from here: Īnd download the attached compat-patch.txt. Sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers

I haven't had any probles yet, but I will post a reply to this thread if a problem appears at some later date, or Atheros releases a proper driver for this card. I can verify that gigabit speeds are possible with this 'stolen' driver. The module which will be modified is alx, and after I told the kernel to load it explicitly by editing /etc/modules, My ethernet card was discovered at startup and properly suspended and hibernated. After application of this patch and procedure, my ethernet card worked.
I have created a patch to be applied to the compat-wireless kernel modules. I have basically 'stolen' the driver of a related card with existing linux drivers. I have found a way to get the Qualcomm Atheros Bigfoot Killer E2200 ethernet card to work with existing Atheros linux drivers.
