I have Atheros Ethernet (On Board) which is not detected by the SL 6.2 
(Updated).

Ethernet Details:

[root@localhost compat-wireless-2012-03-12-p]# lspci | grep Ethernet
02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR8151 v2.0 Gigabit 
Ethernet (rev c0)


After looking up various internet resources, I came across: 
http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/networking/alx
The site has the required drivers. I am going as per the instructions mentioned 
to compile and install the drivers, however I get the following error: 


[root@localhost compat-wireless-2012-03-12-p]# make

I would be thankful for any help provided in resolving the issue.


Thanks!
