Key Master

# modprobe atl1c
# /etc/init.d/network.sh restart
Autoload module on boot:
# leafpad /etc/rcS.conf
LOAD_MODULES="atl1c"
If this is the wrong driver post the output from:
lspci -nn

Driver still not loaded.
Someone told me to try # modprobe atl1e
But same result,lan port not detected.

The pcid 1969:1083 of AR8151 is not included in the atl1c or atl1e driver.
Although one or the other is reported to work by some users if you add the pcid to a new_id after modprobe.
# modprobe atl1c
# echo "1969 1083" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/atl1c/new_id
# /etc/init.d/network.sh restart

Just wanna thank mojo. Your advice of adding pcid in new_id file works for ASUS X54L (assembled with Atheros AR8151 ethernet chip [1969:1083).

I did exactly what mojo suggested:
```
# modprobe atl1c
# echo "1969 1083" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/atl1c/new_id
# /etc/init.d/network.sh restart
```
:-D

Maybe more usability to write script in /etc/ naming atheros-atl1c and get in after loading system:
script /etc/atheros-atl1c
-------------------------
#!/bin/sh
modprobe atl1c
echo "1969 1083" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/atl1c/new_id
/etc/init.d/network.sh restart

Thanks mojo !!!
