Lenovo G480 / Atheros AR8162 woes: unable to initiate wired/dsl

[Poutrathor]

@Chili555

Thank you very much! This was a perfect solution ! My eth controller was probably next iteration but same fix did great.

04:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Atheros Communications Inc. AR8161 Gigabit Ethernet [1969:1091] (rev 10)

I followed it cmd by cmd and it worked without any issues.

I only changed versions numbers at

wget http://www.orbit-lab.org/kernel/compat-wireless-3-stable/v3.6/compat-wireless-3.6.8-1-snpc.tar.bz2

in order to get the current last version on the repository you gave.

Thank you!

Go get them, install them and try again.

OR!!! Install Ubuntu 13.04 where both of these devices are driven by default.

I installed ubuntu 13.04. Everything is working great, thanks.

Alright chili, I'm stuck again. I just updated to version 12.10 and re making this driver does not work for me anymore. I get no errors and everything builds fine. I have tried three times with reboots in between.

However this time I am able to get online via USB tethering on my android phone. Any input on how to resolve the wireless issue.


Your saying that the newer versions support this device, so it should be working shouldn't it? Or do I need to go to version 13.x




Downloading and installing 13.x now, will update if it does not fix the issue. My Ethernet is working fine also.
