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 make -C /lib/modules/2.6.32-220.23.1.el6.i686/build M=/home/sunhost/Downloads/compat-wireless-2012-03-12-p modules make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.32-220.23.1.el6.i686' CC [M] /home/sunhost/Downloads/compat-wireless-2012-03-12-p/compat/main.o In file included from /home/sunhost/Downloads/compat-wireless-2012-03-12-p/include/linux/compat-2.6.h:55, from <command-line>:0: /home/sunhost/Downloads/compat-wireless-2012-03-12-p/include/linux/compat-2.6.35.h:27: error: static declaration of ‘irq_set_affinity_hint’ follows non-static declaration include/linux/interrupt.h:218: note: previous declaration of ‘irq_set_affinity_hint’ was here make[3]: *** [/home/sunhost/Downloads/compat-wireless-2012-03-12-p/compat/main.o] Error 1 make[2]: *** [/home/sunhost/Downloads/compat-wireless-2012-03-12-p/compat] Error 2 make[1]: *** [_module_/home/sunhost/Downloads/compat-wireless-2012-03-12-p] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.32-220.23.1.el6.i686' make: *** [modules] Error 2 I would be thankful for any help provided in resolving the issue.
