Hello
I Have a Medion Erazer notebook and have the same Ethernet Controller. I followed your steps but i ran into an error. When i run 'make' i get the error:

make: *** /lib/modules/3.7-trunk-686-pae/build: No such file or directory. Stop.
make: *** [modules] Error 2

Do you have a solution for this?

I still get the message after the modprobe : FATAL module ALX not found :)
I do get a lot of warnings on the make install command (many many entries with warning blablabla, due to loop).

Is thi smaybe some old stuff which needs to be remoced first?
How can I start clean all over?
