Linux Wireless compatibility package This is a Linux wireless compatibility package which provides the latest Linux wireless subsystem enhancements for kernels 2.6.24 and above. It is technically possible to support kernels 2.6.24. The differences are the code they are containing. The version based on linux-next.git contains the wireless and bluetooth subsystem out of linux-next.git and the stable version the wireless subsystem out of the corresponding linux stable version. Selecting your driver - If you know the driver you want you can select it with our helper script:./scripts/driver-select Run that script to see more information.

Not all drivers are currently enabled via driver-select. Building, and installing - Build: compile the latest linux wireless subsystem make Install: We use the updates/ directory so your distribution's drivers are left intact. Sudo make install Uninstall: This nukes our changes to updates/ so you can go back to using your distribution's supported drivers. Sudo make uninstall Load: Reboot unless you know what you are doing. (Usually modprobe 'driver-name' is the way to go) Bluetooth modules can be separately compiled and installed using below commands Bluetooth drivers are also available via./scripts/driver-select Build: make bt Install: sudo make btinstall Uninstall: sudo make btuninstall Unload: sudo make btunload Load: modprobe driver-name. If unsure, reboot.

Drivers - This is the list of drivers the package currently provides. It adds all new drivers or drivers which keep being updated which you might be interested in.

Johann Suhm 2012-07-23 11:03:51 EDT Description of problem: After a fresh install of Fedora 17 x8664 DVD, the ethernet card is not avalaible. I tried after updates, same issue. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): The laptop is a DELL Vostro 3360 with these network interfaces: # lspci (.) 01:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc.

SilencioUnico 2012-10-29 08:15:52 EDT Hi Everyone! I have a Vostro 3460 and i try to use the information in this post hoping my chipset will work, but it didnt. I have downloaded the latest alx module compat-wireless-2012-10-28-p.tar. I untar it, and when i write in a terminal this is the answer root@xochipilli compat-wireless-2012-10-28-p#./scripts/driver-select alx Processing new driver-select request. Backup exists: Makefile.bk Unsupported driver I use a 1969:1091 - AR8161 Gigabit Ethernet Someone has an idea of which is the problem? I just can connect to internet using a usb port connected to the router.

You need use compat-wireless/compat-drivers with 'c' letter in filename.

Like compat-wireless-2012-10-28-pc.tar. SilencioUnico 2012-11-12 10:35:17 EST Hi everyone. It seems the problem was not the module alx, Yesterday when i was trying to make the things work, i realize in a post that someone have kind of similar problem.

So he make dmesg grep firmware And, as me, he didnt have the firmware. So the only thing i did was yum install iwl2030-firmware.noarch Then i follow the steps for installing the compat-wireless-2012-10-28-p.tar.

And everything work perfect. So, thanks Alexey for comment!, and i hope this information will be useful for someone.

I have exctracted the file, I have done./scripts/driver-select alx Backup exists: Makefile.bk Backup exists: Makefile.bk Backup exists: drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/Makefile.bk Backup exists: drivers/net/ethernet/atheros/Makefile.bk Backup exists: Makefile.bks Backup exists: Makefile.bk Backup exists: drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/Makefile.bk And when I'm doing make, I get the response make:. /lib/modules/3.6.8-2.fc17.x8664/build: No such file or directory.

Make:. modules Error 2 What is wrong? Is this connected with this that I don'h have 3.6.8-1 kernell??? Moshe nahmias 2013-01-04 15:33:18 EST Hi, I have a lenovo g780 with the same card with fedora 18 and it doesn't work, not with the alx module and not with the atl1c as I saw on google.

Phil V 2013-03-09 13:18:13 EST I found this worked for 3.8.1-201.fc18.x8664 but when I tried the same process on the original Fedora 18 kernel 3.6.10-4.fc18.x8664 I received the errors below. (1) Should this work?

(2) Do you have to do the recompile every time you boot into a different kernel or is there a simple way of keeping the various modules around and using the appropriate one? Mv compat-drivers-2013-02-20-u compat-drivers-2013-02-20-u-prev-used tar -xjf compat-drivers-2013-02-20-u.tar.

Phil V 2013-03-09 21:11:32 EST ok, thanks for clarifying. The adapter seems to work now, but: Does it matter that when I 'make install' on 3.8.1 I get two messages 'Can't read private key' and some messages about invalid modprobe options? root@localhost compat-drivers-2013-02-20-u# make install Updating Fedora's initramfs for 3.8.1-201.fc18.x8664 under /boot/.

Phil V 2013-03-09 21:19:57 EST A second issue is that when I suspend & resume:. The ethernet connection does not work.

The GNOME menubar Network-Manager applet falsely reports that the ethernet cable is unplugged. I found that if I issue the commands root@localhost compat-drivers-2013-02-20-u# modprobe -rv alx root@localhost compat-drivers-2013-02-20-u# modprobe -v alx Results: rmmod alx rmmod compat insmod /lib/modules/3.8.1-201.fc18.x8664/updates/compat/compat.ko insmod /lib/modules/3.8.1-201.fc18.x8664/updates/drivers/net/ethernet/atheros/alx/alx.ko and the connection works again. 2) Is this what I should be doing?

3) If so, where do I put these commands so they can be executed every resume? George Constantinou 2013-03-18 09:27:27 EDT Hi Andrew, Please note per Gilboa's instructions, all steps except step one should be executed through the terminal from the location of the unpacked folder (usually named 'compat-drivers.' ) Another note, step two should be:./scripts/drivers-select alx (In reply to ) I have a new ASUS R503U laptop and can confirm that my model is affected by this bug as well.

I see a lot of ideas but would prefer not to attempt them all if possible. Please advise with the most successful yet least complex / sloppy method currently available. Klaus 2013-08-06 17:15:02 EDT (In reply to moshe nahmias from ) You can install the compat drivers (you can download them from another computer). All you need it to be able to compile it on the targeted system.

If you can't compile there thats going to be a problem (I know it's possible to download everything on another computer but that is not so easy) Followed instructions at but get error: make:. /lib/modules/3.9.0-0.rc6.git2.3.fc19.i686.PAE/build: File or directory not found. Make:. modules error 2 maybe kernel headers and kernel development files missing to build the module? What do i need and where can I download from? Dave Hardy 2014-02-17 18:48:37 EST Still hanging here with a new RHEL 6.5 machine and after opening a problem report and following the recommended procedures ('You can simply create local repository of RHEL DVD iso.'

), which I did, I ran smack up against a series of yum commands which I obviously can't execute w/o net access. So still no updates, no registration, and no driver for the Atheros 8161 Gigabit ethernet controller. A chicken-and-egg conundrum and so far sneaker-net hasn't been much help. Am I missing something here?

Or do I have to wait for Qualcomm to come up with the drivers? Dave Hardy 2014-02-18 12:43:02 EST Latest response: 'No problem.

You can install the gcc. and make packages and then even after installing new kernel package you are not getting the network device up, then please contact your hardware vendor and ask them for the driver file. They will give you the driver file which you can download the compile on your machine to get the network device detected.' 'How to compile and how to install that third party network driver? This kind of procedure can be given by your hardware vendor himself, so you can ask him those questions in initial update only.'

Except Qualcomm, since buying Atheros, does not have a RHEL/CentOS/Fedora driver file for that controller yet. So I don't see how installing the gcc and packages is going to help here.
