Xubuntu Wired connection not working

[Felipe Dominguez]

SOLVED:

Hello

CubeGide in http://xubuntu.org/irc/ found the solution.

I leave it here in case some one else have the same problem:

Link to the answer:

http://askubuntu.com/questions/165192/how-do-i-install-drivers-for-the-atheros-ar8161-ethernet-controller

*Real Problem:*

 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR8161 Gigabit
Ethernet (rev 08)

The AR8161 is a very new combined Ethernet/Bluetooth controller and its
driver alx is in the testing/QA process, so it's not in the kernel yet.


*Solution:*

Build and install the driver:

We will download a recent compat-wireless-pc driver package, install build
dependencies, select the AR8161 module alx, build and install it.

Type/paste the following, line-by-line, in a terminal:



sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-generic
linux-headers-`uname -r`
wget -O- http://linuxwireless.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/compat-wireless-2012-07-03-pc.tar.bz2
| tar -xj
cd compat-wireless-2012-07-03-pc
./scripts/driver-select alx
make
sudo make install


You can then reboot, or manually load the driver with:
sudo modprobe alx


Regards

Felipe
