<br></div><div>Link to the answer: <br><br><a href="http://askubuntu.com/questions/165192/how-do-i-install-drivers-for-the-atheros-ar8161-ethernet-controller">http://askubuntu.com/questions/165192/how-do-i-install-drivers-for-the-atheros-ar8161-ethernet-controller</a><br>
</div><div><br></div><b>Real Problem:</b><br><pre><code> Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR8161 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 08)</code></pre>The AR8161 is a very new combined Ethernet/Bluetooth controller and its driver <code>alx</code> is in the testing/QA process, so it's not in the kernel yet.<br>
<br><br></div><b>Solution:</b><br><br><h3><span style="font-weight:normal">Build and install the driver:</span></h3>
<p>We will download a recent <code>compat-wireless-pc</code> driver package, install build dependencies, select the AR8161 module <code>alx</code>, build and install it.</p>
<p>Type/paste the following, line-by-line, in a terminal:</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><pre>sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-generic linux-headers-`uname -r`
wget -O- <a href="http://linuxwireless.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/compat-wireless-2012-07-03-pc.tar.bz2">http://linuxwireless.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/compat-wireless-2012-07-03-pc.tar.bz2</a> | tar -xj
cd compat-wireless-2012-07-03-pc
./scripts/driver-select alx
make
sudo make install<br><br><br>You can then reboot, or manually load the driver with:<br>sudo modprobe alx<br></pre><br></div>Regards<br><br>Felipe<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 5 February 2013 14:34, Felipe Dominguez <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:felipe.dominguez@gmail.com" target="_blank">felipe.dominguez@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br> Before I use Ubuntu with Unity, all this things worked out the box. I ecided to move into Xubutu because of the bad reviews that Ubuntu 12.10 got. I have expend a lot of time in fixing little things, I knew Xubuntu was minimalistic... but this is too much.</div>
