hello, When I manually do dhcpcd I see this message: unsupported interface type 308, falling back to ethernet. I have a Atheros AR8131 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller which normally uses the atl1c driver. This one is compiled into the kernel. Roelof

Does the driver support this card? (check by running lspci -k, pay close attention to the "Kernel driver in use"-line) Does this card require any firmware blobs to sit in /lib/firmware? regards, Thomas

I see this output : 02:00 Ethernet Controller Atheros Communications Inc AR8131 Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev c1) Subsystem : Asustek Device 83fe Driver in use : atl1c

Not that I know of.

Roelof, try with this driver, it seems to offer greater speeds than the stock kernel driver for AR8131: http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/networking/alx Also, it seems that this ethernet chipset is problematic. See: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=93434 Rex
