Atheros AR8151

Slitaz does not recognize the Atheros AR8151 ethernet,any solution to this issue?

mojo · 2012-10-04 05:00:13

[c]# modprobe atl1c[/c]

[c]# /etc/init.d/network.sh restart[/c]

Autoload module on boot:

[c]# leafpad /etc/rcS.conf[/c]

LOAD_MODULES="atl1c"

If this is the wrong driver post the output from:

[c]lspci -nn[/c]

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:

[c]# modprobe atl1c
# echo "1969 1083" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/atl1c/new_id
# /etc/init.d/network.sh restart[/c]
:-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 !!!
