Driver for Qualcomm Atheros AR8132
Hello there,
I have an Eee PC 1005HA, 1 GB RAM *old stuff*
lspci shows:
Code:
Ethernet controller: Qualcomm Atheros AR8132 Fast Ethernet
After a long search I found atl1c on github.com as a driver for the ethernet interface ( https://github.com/torvalds/linux/tr.../atheros/atl1c).
These are the files:
Code:
Makefile atl1c.h atl1c_ethtool.c atl1c_hw.c atl1c_hw.h atl1c_main.c
This is the Makefile:
Code:
obj-$(CONFIG_ATL1C) += atl1c.o
atl1c-objs := atl1c_main.o atl1c_hw.o atl1c_ethtool.o
I started compiling atl1c_main.c to objectcode and got so many errors that I thought it‘s senseless to continue.
I‘m running kernel version 4.12.10 with Debian 9.8 Stretch. gcc-version is 6.3.0.
I‘d like to get working the ethernet-interface. Any ideas? Any information missing?

From what I read, it should work with the stock Debian kernel...have you tried booting the stock kernel to try?

Thanks for your reply. When I bootet the stock kernel, the interface appeared with Modul atl1c in use. Now I startet a compilation of Kernel 4.12.10 including the atl1c-Modul. I hope it will then work.
Edit:
Yes, it works!!!
