      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

                $ cd linux-3.5.4

                $ wget [B][url]http://bombadil.infradead.org/~mcgrof/2012/02/28/add-alx-next-20120228.patch[/url][/B]

                $ 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

                            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

                            Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG! Get in contact with me (chat bubble in the top right corner) if you want to join in.

                            Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

                            Please support FOG if you like it: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Support_FOG

                              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.

                                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.

                                Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG! Get in contact with me (chat bubble in the top right corner) if you want to join in.

                                  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.
