I'm still on 2.6.32.x, just updated it with the normal update manager.
Then how come mine doens't work anymore? Is there any way to re-install or re-active the driver?

Hi,
I just installed with 10.04 and I encounter the same problem you have. My system network module is Atheros AR8151 as I checked from Win 7 and ubuntu could not detect it. And I don't have Internet connection when I boot up with Ubuntu. How am I going to update the software/system?
Thank you.
New Acer Aspire 5820T
Dual boot Windows 7 and Kubuntu 10.04
As described above, no ethernet (okay in Win7)
Downloaded driver file from Acer site.
Installed build-essentials but not linux headers-generic (note missing hyphen after linux)
did:
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic
the kernel and the generic headers downloaded (kernel matched what I had as reported with uname -a)
After that the sudo su/make install/modprobe worked after one failed (stalled) restart and and one good restart.
Thanks for the good information. Has a bug report been filed?
Conversely, my wifi is working, so that might be the solution for the question of how to get the download for linux.
Have the same machine and had the same problem. Solved it by building and installing the driver stated above. Installing build-essential was a bit hairy since there was no connection. I used keryx to download the package to a usb drive in win 7 and then installed it back in Ubuntu.
Some notes:
* To install build-essential: Start keryx in ubuntu. Create a new project. Ddecline updating package list from the servers. Then you may have to go Project->Update Status. Then quit and go back to win. There you use keryx to download build-essential to your project, which can then be installed when back in ubuntu by going Project->Install Packages.
* Don't use keryx to download ubuntu updates (if you can avoid it). Sometimes keryx is messing up the dependencies - ending up not being able to run installations when back in Ubuntu.
* Once internet connection has been established using the new driver, some proprietary drivers become available. Activating the graphics driver caused the screen to go black after reboot for me, be careful with this one. I had to reinstall Ubuntu all over. (Does anyone know any thread discussing this?)
* The driver will have to, as stated, be reactivated when some updates are installed. You might have to run:
To first remove and then add the driver again.Code:sudo modprobe -r atl1e sudo modprobe atl1e

Hi, I'm having the same problem with the Atheros AR8151 ethernet not working. My laptop is an Acer Aspire 5745G and I just installed Ubuntu 10.04.
I've first tried to install the driver but then found out that build-essentials is not installed.
Since I don't have any internet (wireless isn't working either) I've followed the instructions by worldsayshi and tried to install build-essentials using Keryx but I'm stuck. Ok so I've created a new project in Ubuntu but when I open it in Win7 I can't see build-essentials anywhere. Can anyone give me a helping hand?
Thanks a lot
Can you try #7 in this thread to install build-essential?
my latop's ethernet is an atheros and after I installed 10.04 I got it to work without problem having followed the post on this link http://tuxthink.blogspot.com/2010/08...roller-on.html
but I got some updates regrettably now its back to no wired network I have tried doing the same procedure again and it still didnt work on Kernel Linux 2.6.32-28 generic but if I boot into the previous kernel Linux 2.6.32-21 generic it works well.
