= Problems & Solutions =

|
== No Ethernet ==
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This problem appear if you are using an old kernel.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre>[root@nixos:]# lspci -v | sed -n '/Ethernet/ { :loop p; n; s/^$//; T loop; q}'
|
||
|
|
07:00.0 Ethernet controller: Attansic Technology Corp. Device 1063 (rev c0)
|
||
|
|
...
|
||
|
|
Kernel driver in use: atl1c
|
||
|
|
Kernel modules: atl1c
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
While searching on the web you find that this ethernet device need the kernel module <code>atl1e</code> instead of <code>atl1c</code>. The following sources explain how to unpack & compile & install such module on usual distributions. As we are on a NixOS, things are a bit different.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To follow the instruction you need to find a way to copy the module sources of AR81Family-linux-v1.0.0.10.tar.gz ([http://www.backtrack.it/~emgent/hackstuff/Attansic/ http://www.backtrack.it/~emgent/hackstuff/Attansic/]) on the targeted device.

|
|
<pre>
|
||
|
|
# avoid messing up your term
|
||
|
|
[root@nixos:]# initctl stop dhclient
|
||
|
|
# add dependencies in the environment
|
||
|
|
[root@nixos:]# nix-env -i gcc gnumake
|
||
|
|
[root@nixos:]# ln -s /nix/store/*-linux-$(uname -r)/lib /lib
|
||
|
|
# unpack & compile
|
||
|
|
[root@nixos:]# mkdir /tmp/AR81Family-linux
|
||
|
|
[root@nixos:]# cp .../AR81Family-linux-v1.0.0.10.tar.gz .
|
||
|
|
[root@nixos:]# yes y | tar xzf AR81Family-linux-v1.0.0.10.tar.gz
|
||
|
|
[root@nixos:]# cd src
|
||
|
|
[root@nixos:]# make
|
||
|
|
# Replace the current module
|
||
|
|
[root@nixos:]# rmmod atl1c
|
||
|
|
[root@nixos:]# modprobe /tmp/AR81Family-linux/src/atl1e.ko
|
||
|
|
# start fetching an IP address.
|
||
|
|
[root@nixos:]# initctl start dhclient
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
At the end, you end up with a working interface and the following result:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre>[root@nixos:]# lspci -v | sed -n '/Ethernet/ { :loop p; n; s/^$//; T loop; q}'
|
||
|
|
07:00.0 Ethernet controller: Attansic Technology Corp. Device 1063 (rev c0)
|
||
|
|
...
|
||
|
|
Kernel driver in use: atheros_eth
|
||
|
|
Kernel modules: atl1c
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Many reference to AR81Family-linux-v1.0.1.0.tar.gz can be found on the web, but the manufacturer links are broken.

* Changing the boot sequence in the BIOS is changing the apparent mapping of hard-drives. Thus <code>hd0</code> and <code>hd1</code> are inverted in GRUB 2.

|
* The MBR is not restored by the recovery CDs.
