分類: 硬道理

No need to spend more money. I just built a new machine with a P5Q Asus board. Using the instructions in the readme on the CD I got the onboard Gigabit Lan working perfectly.

If you are willing to do a little command line work it doesn't take long.

I created a folder named Drivers in my home folder and copied l1e-l2e-linux-v1.0.0.4.tar.bz2 to it from the Asus CD.

cd to that folder and
CODE
tar zxf l1e-l2e-linux-v1.0.0.4.tar.bz2

Now there will be two new folders - in my case the path was home/awc/Drivers/atl1e/src

change directory to the /src folder and
CODE
make install

This gave me an error message - something about "CFlags" and fixing it to use "EXTRA_CFLAGS"

A quick search turned up a suggestion to try
CODE
sudo KBUILD_NOPEDANTIC=1 make install

That did the trick for me and now the driver module has been created and is in /lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/kernel/drivers/net/atl1e

2.6.24-16-generic is the kernel that my Hardy install is using - you may have to sustitute if yours is different.

so now
CODE
cd /lib/modules//kernel/drivers/net/atl1e
sudo insmod ./atl1e.ko

Now the module is loaded into the kernel and the lan works.

Their readme file goes on to give instructions for configuring the interface but my lan was instantly connected - I suppose by Network Manager. I prefer WiCD so later when I installed that I set my preferred config in WiCd.

I hope this makes sense - good luck !

I have to get up early tomorrow so don't think me rude if I don't answer any questions - -I'm sleeping.

PS Since we manually added this module I'm guessing we may have to do this again the next time there is a kernel update so save the instructions (If they work for you)
