Rubeosis, I checked the changelog and found that the patch had been in 3.8.0-20.31 kernel.
Could you help me to verify it again? I copy the alx driver from raring kernel and change the Makefile and add dkms.conf file in it. 1. remove the compat-drivers you have installed 2. sudo cp -a alx-1.0 /usr/src 3. sudo dkms add -m alx -v 1.0 4. sudo dkms install -m alx -v 1.0 5. reboot and try to see if the driver works 6. you can safely remove it by sudo dkms remove -m alx -v 1.0 --all If the alx-1.0 dkms works for you, then the 3.8.0-21 kernel should work for you as well. In this case, please help me to re-check again if the alx driver in 3.8 kernel really doesn't work. If the alx-1.0 dkms doesn't work, then we have to patch the driver in ubuntu kernel again. Anyway, thanks for your help and report the status. ** Attachment added: "alx-1.0.tgz" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/927782/+attachment/3678801/+files/alx-1.0.tgz -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/927782 Title: Include experimental alx driver in the quantal kernel To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/927782/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
