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.
