Atheros AR8151 drivers

[wildmanne39]

Hi, the one you saw is for your wireless card, I did not see one for your ethernet card. I am about to go to bed, I will check on this thread tomorrow, hopefully someone will pop in here that knows where and how to get the driver.

Hi, yes I saw that last night but it does not show any drivers in use for it. I asked a friend to take a look maybe he knows how to get the driver.

i found this link where others got the driver working. Tough to do if you have no internet but you do have flash drive and another connection.

Hi, thanks geo I showed that one to him last night he tried it but it did not work, and he has no way to use his wireless card he only has a wired connection where he lives.
I appreciate any ideas you come up with.

That is a tough one for sure .. Maybe Chili555 might have an idea.

I believe this card wants the module atl1c. I'd download the tarball for compat-wireless. http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/...ng_the_tarball

Install linux-headers and build-essential: I think they're on the CD or DVD. Extract the package and do:

cd Desktop/compat

Press the Tab key so the rest fills in.

./scripts/driver-select atl1c
make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe atl1c

This is not intended to be an exhaustive tutorial; hopefully wildmanne39 and nm_geo can take over while I eat supper.

Hi chili555, thank you for your help I greatly appreciate it.

how do I do this

from disk? I presume you mean the lucid install disk

You are correct.. You use the CD that you installed from.. It would be nice if they were already installed.

Open Synaptic Package Manager
go to Settings>Repositories select/click the CD on in the box
Then search in the Synaptic search box for the packages below
install the build-essential and linux-headers-generic

The we will figure out a way to get the Linux compat-wireless on your desktop and do what Chili555 said with it.

Be back in a few going to boot up my Lucid version.
