Can not install AR8161 Ethernet card with compat-wireless package

[jtweaker]

Hi,

Have a problem with my Asus N56VZ laptop. I cannot install the alx driver. It is a clean install of the system, and I updated with apt-get update, upgrade, and dist-upgrade.
I Had the latest version of backtrack installed and with these drivers had it working.
I also installed the kernel headers, and this will let me continue a bit more, but now I get the following error:

Ok solved it, found the solution on : https://ask.fedoraproject.org/questi...ot-recognized/

Really just uncomment the complete if/else statement. Line 123 - 126.

Enjoy
