Ubuntu Connection network:wired driver for antheros8152

wyk525

Some time ago I bought a Dell notebook N5030. Ideal for that price that I bought. However after I installed Ubuntu 10.04 I noticed that wired NIC was not found and thats why I could not connect to the Internet.
First of all I had to see what NIC do I have:

$ sudo lshw -C network
  *-network
       description: Ethernet interface
       product: AR8152 v2.0 Fast Ethernet
       vendor: Atheros Communications
       physical id: 0
       bus info: pci@0000:09:00.0
       logical name: eth0
       version: c1
       serial: 00:0d:87:b1:1d:27
       capacity: 100MB/s
       width: 64 bits
       clock: 33MHz
       capabilities: pm msi pciexpress vpd bus_master cap_list ethernet physical tp 10bt 10bt-fd 100bt 100bt-fd autonegotiation
       configuration: autonegotiation=on broadcast=yes driver=atl1c driverversion=1.0.1.0-NAPI firmware=N/A latency=0 link=no multicast=yes port=twisted pair
       resources: irq:30 memory:f68c0000-f68fffff ioport:df00(size=128)
So I have an Atheros AR8152. To install the latest drivers, I downloaded the latest release from linuxwireless.org.
Now execute the following commands:

$ tar -xjvf compat-wireless-2.6.tar.bz2
$ cd compat-wireless*
$ scripts/driver-select atl1c
$ make
$ sudo make install
$ sudo modprobe atl1c
