I have an Asus P5G41T-M LX which has an on board gigabit lan. when i install clearos it dose not pick up the on board network card. I have installClearos on other Asus Boards with now problems at all. Please can someone help in explaining how I get the card working. I have done the following
1. Check that it is enabled in the Bios
2. Installed windows on the box and it works once I have loaded the drivers

One thing that I have noticed is that when I plug in the netwrok cable none of the LED indicators activate, however when I put the same cable in the other 2 network card that are on the same machine the link lights come on.
Is there a chipset driver that has to be loaded ? or am I barking up the wrong tree. Any help will be greatly appreciated. - Will promise to post the final result so it will help others, as I have had difficulty in finding any information regarding this motherboard. If you require any further information please don't hesitate to ask
Thanking you
Justin Richards

    There are several variants of the chipset, can you post the output of 'lspci -n'?

    i have same problem and found a article ;


    Enable Atheros AR8131 Gigabit NIC
    Download AR81Family Linux Driver from http://partner.atheros.com/Drivers.aspx
    Decompress (ignore error messages)
    tar zxf AR81Family-linux-v1.0.1.13.tar.gz
    Remove NAPI lines from /src/kcompat.h (see http://blog.lkc.idv.hk/?p=338)
    Compile and load
    make && make install
    modprobe atl1e


    http://www.dylanbarlett.com/?p=40

    But i can't find AR81Family Linux Driver, because links are die :(

    After 3 days of trying to get this to work I found out that the version was slightley diffrent when id did a
    uname -r
    I got 2.6.18-164.6.1.v5PAE which is slightley diffrent from the first install that I did !!!
    went on to the webpage with the older driver which is in the begining of the post ans saw that it had a PAE directory !

    So I downloaded that one and it seemed to install but the card did not come up automatically , I had to create a eth2 file in the network script with the correct mac address and then all was well

    dont know why this one was a mission would be glad for any comments of where I went wrong but all I can say it is working and I am off for a beer!

    Well done.

    It looks like I was wide of the mark with installing the kernel-source. Now I am at home it looks like "yum install kernel-source" would have worked without the kernel name.

    You are better off anyway with Tim's kmod drivers as they should survive a kernel upgrade better.

    Ok so it appears you need the atl1c driver (as opposed to the atl1e you tried earlier), and shouldn't have to bother with compiling your own :) Try installing using the following commands:-
    cd /var/tmp
    wget ftp://download.clearfoundation.com/community/timb80/elrepo-kmod/kmod-atl1c-1.0.0.11-1.el5.elrepo.i686.rpm

    Ok, Here is the results for the command below

    [root@Casals /]# lspci -n | grep 1969
    01:00.0 0200: 1969:1063 (rev c0)
    [root@Casals /]# 01:00.0 0200: 1969:1063 (rev c0)

    Confusing Yes !!!
    I also did the following

    uname -r
    2.6.18-164.6.1.v5

    yum search kernel
    these where the results , Not sure what I am men't to be looking for

    Hi - Atheros have at least three cards which all use different drivers depending on version of the card - but all present with the same 'name'. Confusing or what!

    Can you please provide the output of 'lspci -n | grep 1969' ?

    It maybe the atl1 atl1c or atl1e... (Attansic drivers)

    (Aside - we may also need to update your PCI.IDS file so that it recognises it properly)

    I think you need to install the kernel-source and possibly the kernel-headers. You need the correct ones for your kernel ("uname -r").

    Do a "yum search kernel" to find the correct names of the files.

    It lists the Nic

    I noticed that it is unknown device though?
    Also for your info I have got the driver CD for this Motherboard , If I follow the linux instructions , when I get to "make file " I get this error
    Makefile:61: *** Linux kernel source not found. Stop.

    Not sure if this has anything to do with it ,
    Regards and thanks for the prompt reply

    Justin,
    My post was not particularly clear. If you use Tim's drivers you don't need the Development Tools. That was only to compile your own drivers. Anyway, now they are installed, leave them there.

    I am concerned that kudzu does not see your network card. What is the output to "lspci"?

    Read the reply from Nick Howitt and carefully and ran the following command

    yum groupinstall "Development Tools"

    It installed 44MB so if you dont ahave a fast connection it takes a bit of time
    After it finished had the following errors and did not seem to do anything !

    Error Downloading Packages:
    gcc-gfortran - 4.1.2-48.el5.i386: failure: gcc-gfortran-4.1.2-48.el5.i386.rpm from clearcentos-os: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.
    gdb - 7.0.1-23.el5_5.1.i386: failure: gdb-7.0.1-23.el5_5.1.i386.rpm from clearcentos-updates: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.
    strace - 4.5.18-5.el5_5.5.i386: failure: strace-4.5.18-5.el5_5.5.i386.rpm from clearcentos-updates: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.

    I ran the command again
    yum groupinstall "Development Tools"

    It seemed to download the 3 files that it did not the first time around and install all 55 files with a Complete ! message

    downloaded ftp://download.clearfoundation.com/community/timb80/elrepo-kmod/kmod-atl1e-1.0.1.0-3.el5.elrepo.i686.rpm
    and saved it to a directory called lan5

    I read the read me on the same location and needed to run the following command
    yum localinstall --nogpgcheck /root/lan5/kmod-atl1e-1.0.1.0-3.el5.elrepo.i686.rpm

    and I got the following

    [root@Casals lan5]# yum localinstall --nogpgcheck /root/lan5/kmod-atl1e-1.0.1.0-3.el5.elrepo.i686.rpm
    Loading "kmod" plugin
    Loading "protect-packages" plugin
    Setting up Local Package Process
    Examining /root/lan5/kmod-atl1e-1.0.1.0-3.el5.elrepo.i686.rpm: kmod-atl1e - 1.0.1.0-3.el5.elrepo.i686
    /root/lan5/kmod-atl1e-1.0.1.0-3.el5.elrepo.i686.rpm: does not update installed package.
    Nothing to do
    [root@Casals lan5]#

    Next I rebooted the computer and still had no network card

    I typed in the following command

    [root@Casals src]# kudzu -p | grep network
    network.hwaddr: 00:14:d1:1a:78:66
    network.hwaddr: 00:14:d1:1a:78:1b

    which gave me the mac address of the 2 cards that are already installed , and noticed that it is still not picking up the on board card
    What an I doing wrong ?

    I believe you need the arl1e Atheros driver. You can get the source from here. You will also need the development tools:
    yum groupinstall "Development Tools"


    Tim may have the correct rpm here. I'm pretty sure it's the atl1e one but unless he posts you'd be taking a small gamble. You can always un-install it, but if it works, it's the easier option.
