I am running centos 5.9 and my pc has an onboard ethernet card that cannot see it.
lspci gives me
Atheros Communications Inc. AR8151 v2.0 Gigabit ethernet (rec c0)
is there a way to make it work since i do not have any connection to LAN?

Find out if ELRepo's kmod-alx package works for your device. This [url=http://elrepo.org/bugs/view.php?id=396]entry[/url] in the ELRepo bug tracker will give you more detailed info.

That is for EL6, whereas the OP is using [i]CentOS 5.9[/i] i.e. EL5.

Re: centos 5.9+atheros NIC
Hi.
thanks a lot for the replies. As i mentioned earlier there is no connection to Internet since the NIC is not working.
i have tried to manually download the file and install it through a USB, but no luck.
i will try to use the getinfo script to collect the info manually to usb and export it to this thread, unless someone has an idea.

Not so good news. [b]NedSlider[/b], who successfully backported code to build kmod-alx for EL6, says it is not a trivial task to do the same for EL5. This means that there will not be kmod-alx for CentOS-5. :-(

i have tried modprobe atl1e
it worked.
it worked.
