Atheros Lan Driver

[rnk]

I have Msı GE70 0ND notebook and here is the solution i found for Atheros lan driver :

my device:

lspci|grep Ethernet
03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. Device e091 (rev 13)

* download:
https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/ker...-28-5-u.tar.gz

* download alx-patch.txt

apt-get update && apt-get install -y linux-headers-$(uname -r)
tar xvf compat-drivers-2013-03-28-5-u.tar.gz
cd compat-drivers-2013-03-28-5-u
patch --dry-run -p1 < alx-patch.txt
patch -p1 < alx-patch.txt
./scripts/driver-select alx
make
make install
modprobe alx
reboot

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?

thanks for tutorial, all ok. I have copy the file .txt in compat-drivers-2013-03-28-5-u first of patch file

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?
