eee Pc 1000 and ethernet card


Hi there. I have eee1000 and I would like to fix up my wired connection but I am having problems.

My dmesg is :

Atheros(R) L2 Ethernet Driver - version 2.0.5
Copyright (c) 2007 Atheros Corporation.
Atheros(R) L2 Ethernet Driver - version 2.0.5
Copyright (c) 2007 Atheros Corporation.
IPv6 over IPv4 tunneling driver
sit0: Disabled Privacy Extensions

My lspci:

01:00.0 Network controller: RaLink Unknown device 0781
03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Attansic Technology Corp. Unknown device 1026 (rev b0)

My ifconfig -a :

lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1

and my modprobe.conf :

alias eth0 atl2

And if I run ifup eth0 I got message :
atl2 device eth0 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization.
Would you help me please to fix it up???? Thank you.

You need to give more information. Is this a USB Ethernet adapter you are trying to use, or the built-in Ethernet? If it is the built-in Ethernet, then what happened to cause the stock drivers to stop working?
Have you replaced the kernel?

According to ifconfig, the system isn't seeing any interfaces at all, which leads me to believe that something has changed in the kernel; as you should have at least the stock built-in Ethernet working no matter what you connect externally.

I have Asus Eee 1000. I had to compile module for kernel. So I did:
1.I downloaded atl2-2.0.5.tar.bz2.
2.mkdir Lan
3.cd Lan
4.tar xjvf atl2-2.0.5.tar.bz2
5.cd atl2-2.0.5
6.make
7.cp atl2.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/atl2
8.vi /etc/modprobe.conf ,and there I wrote "alias eth0 atl2"
9.depmod -a
10.modprobe atl2
11.reboot

And now after reboot system-config-network and everything looks ok.
That ethernet card is internal. And I run Fedora9.
