ar8161网卡 linux,解决AR8161网卡驱动的方法

linux内核普遍不支持AR8161系列网卡。很多系统装上之后，不能用以太网。有些网站说的也不是很对，我这里总结以下解决办法。

安装完成后没有eth0,也不能启动网卡

# ifconfig

lo Link encap:Local Loopback

inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0

inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host

UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:65536 Metric:1

TX packets:32 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

RX bytes:1600 (1.5 Kb) TX bytes:1600 (1.5 Kb)

看一下自己的网卡型号

# lspci |grep net

google,baidu到的就是需要安装compat-wireless兼容驱动。下载之～

点击打开链接 或点这里

下载候开始安装。

在这里出现问题了，drivers/net/ethernet/atheros/alx/Makefile: No such file or directory.

说没有发现makefile.然后看到github上的这个 根据三楼说的，需要下载compat-drivers

看这里

安装compat-drivers

# tar xf compat-drivers-2013-03-04-u.tar.bz2#注意这里软件包的名字，不是compat-drivers-2013-02-03.tar.gz

注意，重点到了

那就按照github上说的来吧。不过这里不是从compat-wireless拷贝文件到compat-drivers，而是反着过来的。估计github上的那位网友没有注意吧。。。

# cp -r compat-drivers-2013-03-04-u/drivers/net/ethernet/atheros/alx/* compat-wireless-3.6.8-1/drivers/net/ethernet/atheros/alx/

然后开始安装

# cd compat-wireless-3.6.8-1/

compat-wireless-3.6.8-1 # make

make -C /lib/modules/3.7.10-1.24-desktop/build M=/HardDisk/tmp/compat-wireless-3.6.8-1 modules

alx.ko 了，这就是网卡驱动了。有没有特别亲切啊～～～激动啊～～～

你可以把alx.ko复制到系统模块目录里

# cp alx.ko /lib/modules/3.7.10-1.1-default/updates/drivers/net/ethernet/atheros/alx/或者直接安装

compat-wireless-3.6.8-1 # make install

加载一下模块

#modprobe alx

# modprobe -l|grep alx.ko

updates/drivers/net/ethernet/atheros/alx/alx.ko

安装成功。

看看以太网可以用了吗，(*^__^*) 嘻嘻……
