      A quick search of the web shows little hope for the Atheros AR8161/8165 being supported in any version of Linux at this time. I’ve been to the OpenSUSE and Fedora forums and neither of them have support for the device.

      You’ll have to wait for someone to create/modify a device driver module. If you just have to get this done, you might try a USB to ethernet adapter. I have a kernel that supports the Asix AX88772B.

        Okay, i may try a USB adapter but i am hopeful that we may get a kernel working. Also hope that the Optiplex version may have an older NIC driver…

          hey guys there was a similar thread on the 3360 which has the same chipset. I resorted to ghostcasting but after doing 8 successfully its not working any more.

          Would love if there was some way to get a kernel for this sorted, we would make a donation to anybody who did!

            So while we are waiting for the kernel to be patched/ updated, my boss, bought four of the Optiplex 9010 All-in-One models. We got them down to $800 which is a great deal since they were 1300. Anyway Fog works with these!!! This is fantastic news and we will begin to roll these out as our base models for our teachers. The look is great, less cords, and large 23" inch screen is just nice on the eyes. Still look forward to the new kernel and whatever else Fog has to offer down the line.

              There is beta support for the atheros card ar8161/8165. Link to how to add it to kernel is in 3360 thread.

                  We were having issues with new laptops that use the Atheros 8161 Ethernet controller so we have compiled the compat-drivers (alx) with Kernel version 3.5.4-kitchensink. Here is a link to the download for anyone that needs it: [URL=‘http://davidouwinga.com/bzImage.zip’]http://www.davidouwinga.com/bzImage.zip[/URL]
                  You will need to extract the zip file and move the bzImage file to /tftpboot/fog/kernel/ as root

                      Does anyone know how DaveO incorporated the 8161 driver into the kernel? I’d like to learn how for future use.

                      All the examples I’ve found are to build a module, instead of incorporating it into the kernel image.

                        Found some notes on how we did it. I will just paste them here. It has been a long time since this was done so hopefully these still help. Looks like you will need to find a new location to download the add-alx-next-20120228 patch.

                        Compile kernel with ar8161 support

                        $ cd /usr/src

                        $ wget [B][url]http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/linux-3.5.4.tar.bz2[/url][/B]

                        $ sudo tar -xf linux-3.5.4.tar.bz2

                        $ sudo patch -p1 < add-alx-next-20120228.patch

                        $ sudo cp /opt/fog-setup/fog_0.32/kernel/kitchensink.config .config

                        $ sudo make menuconfig

                        Enable alx driver: Device Drivers > Network device support > Ethernet driver support > Atheros ALX Gigabit Ethernet support

                        $ sudo make bzImage

                            We have a new laptop, using the Atheros 8161 ethernet controller problem, so we’ve compiled compatible with kernel version 3.5.4 kitchensink driver (ALX).

                              Hi all,
                              new to this, I unzipped the driver supplied and replaced it for the original bzImage file. Tried to boot to FOG and I still get the same problem. It’s a Toshiba Satellite Pro C50-A-15Q. It is an Atheros network card, any help really appreciated. Be gently and give detailed instructions as I am new to both Linux and FOG.

                              Thanks
                              RRM

                                  Brilliant thank you so much for the help.
                                  It reports
                                  Network …[Fail]
                                  Disk…[Pass]

                                  [FONT=Calibri][COLOR=#1f497d]It’s an Atheros AR8171/8175 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller(NDIS 6.30) in the laptop. Which is slightly newer(?) than the one mentioned in this thread.[/COLOR][/FONT]

                                  [FONT=Calibri][COLOR=#1f497d]I tried update kernel via the FOG server and it never seems to do anything.[/COLOR][/FONT]

                                  [FONT=Calibri][COLOR=#1f497d]Will try what you suggested.[/COLOR][/FONT]

                                    Try my kernel.

                                    [url]https://mastacontrola.com/fogboot/kernel/bzImage[/url]

                                    It’s based on 3.12.0 and has support for, basically, all linux network drivers available within the kernel including 817x

                                      Hi Thanks, can’t get to the file from work, the firewall preventing access will have to download tonight or find another way to get it and try.
                                      Will let you know how I get on.
                                      Cheers

                                        Who’s firewall is preventing access? I’m sure my side is proper. Also, add the note that I recreated the kernel yesterday and we now have 3.12.1 up, same as before though with networking.

                                          The School I work at use eduproxy.bgfl.org and it seem to block everything !!!
                                          I’m downloading on a Windows computer at home now, it’s coming down as a .txt file?

                                          Really appreciate your help with this. Thank you so much.

                                            Excellent. Copying the file from pen drive to the \kernel folder proved to be a problem, but managed to resolve that. It took a while to load but full inventory of computer completed successfully and imaging the laptop now.

                                            Really, really appreciate your help, don’t know how to thank you.

                                            Brilliant.
