02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Attansic Technology Corp. Unknown device 1026 (rev b0)

[pdelahun]

Hi all

I am having problems with my ethernet port on both Hardy and Gutsy:

It says "Unknown device" on both:

02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Attansic Technology Corp. Unknown device 1026 (rev b0)

I did a bit of research and it seems Attansic where bought by Atheros. Ubuntu lists the card as Attansic and Windows Vista lists it as Attansic.

I am guessing the Attansic network drivers are not included in gutsy or hardy. The only linux drivers i could find where:
http://support.asus.com/download/dow...model=P5KPL-CM

But the files seem to be corrupt:

Can anyone help, i will pay !!!

I have included the output from:

ifconfig -a
lspci -vvnn
dmesg

I am guessing the Attansic network drivers are not included in gutsy or hardy. The only linux drivers i could find where:

But the files seem to be corrupt:

What errors are you encountering? With a bit of work, I was able to get the Makefile to make without error.

KBUILD_NOPEDANTIC=1 make

KBUILD_NOPEDANTIC=1 make

Which version of the drivers are you building and on which release?

I've been trying to build the Atheros drivers for the Attansic L1 (l1-linux-v1.2.40.2) and while the KBUILD_NOPEDANTIC option gets past the CFLAGS check, there seem to be some kernel changes between 2.6.22 and 2.6.24 (i.e. Gutsy to Hardy) which stop the driver building.

at_main.c:367: error: implicit declaration of function 'SET_MODUILE_OWNER'

Do you have the headers and 'build-essential' installed? I tried the file the original poster quoted and got:

chili@LAPTOP60:~/LinuxDrivers/L1e_Lan/l1e-l2e-linux-v1.0.0.4/src$ KBUILD_NOPEDANTIC=1 make
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/build SUBDIRS=/home/chili/LinuxDrivers/L1e_Lan/l1e-l2e-linux-v1.0.0.4/src modules

  Building modules, stage 2.
  MODPOST 1 modules
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-16-generic'

As you can see by the kernel version, I am running Hardy.

Yes to the headers and yes to build-essential.

Looking at the output, you're using a different driver though. Where is that one from?

http://dlsvr03.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/...nuxDrivers.zip

Essentially, where the original poster referred. I don't have this card, however I, and future searchers, will be excited to know if it works.

Hi Guys

Thank you, thank you so much !!!

I have got it working !!!

Ok first the network card is Atheros(R) AR8121/AR8113 PCI-E

Ok these are the steps i followed to get it working!

1) I installed ubuntu hardy 64bit, i has build-essential package installed
2) Then i downloaded the linux driver from: http://support.asus.com/download/dow...model=P5KPL-CM
(as per my original post)
3) I then transfered the driver via usb stick to my laptop and unpacked the zip. (Actually i unpacked it on windows first as it has a .rar file that i could not unpack on linux Then i packed it up again on windows).
4) cd into <HOME_DIR>/LinuxDrivers/L1e_Lan/l1e-l2e-linux-v1.0.0.4/src
5) then i ran: sudo KBUILD_NOPEDANTIC=1 make
6) then i ran: sudo KBUILD_NOPEDANTIC=1 make install
7) that worked and put a driver in /lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/kernel/drivers/net/atl1e/at1le.ko
8 ) i cd into that director and i run: sudo insmod ./atl1e.ko

That is it !!! it worked as soon as i plugged in network card.

Thank you all so much !!!! I hope this helps everyone else

[chili555]

Glad it's working. Good job and thanks for posting so the searchers can learn from your experience.

it has a .rar file that i could not unpack on linux

sudo apt-get install unrar
unrar e your_file.rar

Good luck and have fun!

Note i currently have ubuntu 32 bit not 64 bit but the same instructions still work.

same problem solved on a acer 6920G-814G32Bn

thank you
