I do not think it needs firmware. I verified in source that in the 3.2 kernel, the atl1c driver includes the hardware ID 1083. The related driver atl1e does not, so it is not that. At least through 3.4, atl1c is marked experimental... What do you get with "ifconfig -a"? I see references to doing: echo "1969 1083" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/atl1c/new_id But I think that would apply for cases where the atl1c driver did not yet include that hardware ID and this version does...
