Re: [Xen-API] Ethernet Driver for Atheros AR813x



Have you seen this? http://elrepo.org/tiki/kmod-alx

The referenced link supports the AR8162.  Other than that, you'll have to find the driver individually and install (seen here:https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=39433)

I'd try to get the card working under a vanilla Centos 5 install before provisioning any VMs, obviously.

Thanks Kris for the info, that got me going in the right direction.  

By running "/sbin/lspci | grep -i Ethernet" I get "03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR8162 Fast Ethernet (rev 10)"
and then running "/sbin/lspci -n | grep '03:00.0'" I got "03:00.0 0200: 1969:1090 (rev 10)"

Unfortunately, that's not on the El Repo list.  I found the following thread on the ubuntuforums (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2050126) which discuses the alx driver.  Any idea on getting that working on XCP?  This looks like a really odd driver... Not much info out there.

I believe that you can pull drivers for this card from El Repo (http://elrepo.org/tiki/DeviceIDs).  Add the repo, pull appropriate driver via Yum  (at least, on a standard CentOS system).

Hi All,

Has somebody compiled a driver for XCP 1.6.10 Final (61809c) for the Atheros AR813x ethernet card?  Or can someone point me in the right direction to compile my own driver?  Thanks for your help, never compiled a driver for XCP or XenServer before...
