| Summary | 0000446: ALX Drivers for Atheros 8161/8162/etc. | ||||
| Description | If possible, please be so kind and add the alx driver to the next package. A Kali Linux install does not recognize/makes Eth0 available. It has to be installed later, through Backports/compat-drivers. The "additional information" field contains the lspci -v output. This "bug" has already been fixed in Feb. 2013 Wheezy Linux 3.2.39-1. Thanks in advance! | ||||

I'm having the same issue with my Asus X201E (same output). Not really an issue, but useful if it could be corrected. I do not always have a wifi connection available, but LAN only. This makes a fresh install difficult. This is not an issue with other distros, maybe due to a more recent Kernel version (Debian, Ubuntu, Backbox, etc.). |

Kali 1.0.6 uses linux 3.12 and this kernel version has the required driver (drivers/net/ethernet/atheros/alx/*). I'm thus assuming that this bug is fixed. The default kernel configuration has the driver built as a module: debian/config/config:CONFIG_ALX=m |
