Attansic Network Card

Hi folks
i am new to Linux so please excuse any mistakes.
I am looking for help on Connecting to the internet via Linux.
Have installed Fedora 6 (with some help from a friend) but we could not get my Attansic tech L1 gigabit card recognized by FC6.
So any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
Eric B

There is a community driver at

Make sure you have the kernel-devel package installed.

yum install kernel-devel

Download atl1-2.0.7-linux-2.6.19-standalone.tar.gz from the sourceforge project mentioned by bosewicht. Put the file in your home directory and do this:
Code:
tar xzvf atl1-2.0.7-linux-2.6.19-standalone.tar.gz
cd atl1-2.0.7-linux-2.6.19
su -c 'make install'
su -c '/usr/sbin/system-config-network'
When the network config gui comes up, populate it with your network particulars.

Thanks so much for this info guys.
I have downloaded and will comment later as being a newbe it will get done when there are no distractions.
I have no doubt you will all get more questions as I get into Linux but I will endeavor to search FAQ's before doing so.

Regards

Attansic L1 Gigabit ethernet
All,

I have an ASUS P5L-MX motherboard in my new PC which I want to be Linux only..! Fed up with MS bloatware... anyway...!

I followed the instructions in this thread and the ones in the README test file with the tar from sourceforge.net.

When I run the 'make install' part there is a screen of errors and some okay messages (okay I should have saved them).

I am trying to install Centos 4.3 86_64 (because I have the CD's)


Here are my questions which might help me:

[1] If the process is successful should I see Attansic listed in the network cards in network configuration?

[2] I made (most probably) the wrong assumption that because I included developer tool which lists kernel-devel in packages I should be okay? (guess I could do a rpm -q????)

[3] I ran the command as root, on the assumption you need root privileges to do this... right/wrong?

[4] Any other hints tips or help greatly appreciated.

Thanks
David

Yes, if the process is successful.

Not quite sure what you're saying/asking here. You need the kernel-devel package installed.

Yes, you need to be root when you run "make install" because the install writes files to /lib/modules/...

What distro are you running? What kernel version are you running? What atl1 driver version are you trying to build? Please post the error messages if possible.

attansic l1 ethernet card
Hi,

Below is some more information:

[1] The Distro is Centos 4.3 (86_64) and the kernel version is 2.6.9-34.ELsmp

[2] Yes, the kernel-devel-2.6.9-34.EL is listed when I type rpm -q kernel-devel

[3] The version of the driver is the download link from here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/atl1
which looks like it is atl1-2.0.7

[4] Here is the bottom part of the error message which is huge:

make[1]: *** [modules] Error 2

How do I pipe the complete list of errors to a file when I run the command [sudo make install] as per the instructions in the README file.

Thanks
David

atl1 2.0.7 is for kernel 2.6.19 or 2.6.20. It is incompatible with kernel 2.6.9.

Get the vendor version of the driver at ftp://ftp.hogchain.net/pub/linux/attansic/vendor_driver

Read the Attansic stuff at http://www.hogchain.net for problems you might encounter (and some solutions) with the vendor driver.
