Hello,
I am in a desperate need of help :( I am installing ubuntu on my friend's laptop which is an Asus F3E but I cannot make the ethernet card to work. It is an Atheros card.

03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications L1 Gigabit Ethernet (rev b0)Apparently, the driver module should already be built in the kernel but it doesn't seem to be working properly.
Lsmod showed the driver module loaded but with a 0 when in a Livecd.
Now I can' see it at all.

petra@petra-ntb:~$ modprobe alt1
FATAL: Module alt1 not found.
How to make it work? I don't mind compiling it but I can't find where the source could be.
Moreover I was looking everywhere and I can't find any solution.
