I have an LG W1 Express Dual laptop with an Agere Systems Ethernet port. When I loaded Fedora 12 the wireless and everything else worked perfectly except for the LAN. The process to install it was as follows and is almost a complete copy from http://r4ndom.wordpress.com/2009/06/08/agere-et131x-driver-finally/ Download the source from http://go2.wordpress.com/?id=725X1342&site=r4ndom.wordpress.com&url=http%3A%2F%2Fsuperman.is-a-geek.net%2Fet131x_staged_2_6_git.tar.gz save it to your /tmp directory and open a terminal window $ cd /tmp $ tar -xzvf et131x_staged_2_6_git.tar.gz $ cd staged The next step is to run make, this initially just resulted in errors for me. make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.31.9.-174.fc12.i686.PAE/build: No such file or directory To get past this you need to install some other things first... $ yum install gcc kernel-PAE-devel or if you don't have a PAE kernel, you can check by running "uname -r" if you don't see PAE in the result run the following $ yum install gcc kernel-devel once you have these... $ make Once that finishes $ su make sure you are still in the staged directory $pwd /tmp/staged $ make modules_install $ modprobe et131x You should be up and running now. |
