There are several variants of the Atheros driver. You need CONFIG_ATL1C [ been there when I got my new server, identified ATL1C from systemrescuecd, but selected ATL1 :-( ] Looking at menuconfig in a recent kernel: < > Atheros/Attansic L1 Gigabit Ethernet support < > Atheros L1E Gigabit Ethernet support (EXPERIMENTAL) < > Atheros L1C Gigabit Ethernet support (EXPERIMENTAL) The ATL1C is EXPERIMENTAL, so in the 'General setup' options you will need to select: [*] Prompt for development and/or incomplete code/drivers otherwise you won't be offered experimental things.
