Hello again, to keep this simple im trying to get eth0 working on my laptop acer aspire timelineX 3820TG
pacman -Syu gives me "Transient resolver failure"
and i got all the swedish mirrors uncommented.
ifconfig only shows the "lo" interface
ifconfig eth0 up returns "unknown interface: no such device"
lscpci | grep Eth
Ehternet controller: Atheros communications AR8151 v1.0 Gigabit Ethernet (rev c0)
modprobe -l | grep atl
kernel/drivers/net/atlx/atl1.ko
kernel/drivers/net/atlx/atl2.ko
kernel/drivers/net/atl1e/atl1e.ko
kernel/drivers/net/atl1c/atl1c.ko
dhcpcd
dhcpcd already running on pid 2182 (var/run/dhcpcd.pid)
rc.conf
eth0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(eth0)
gateway="default gw 192.168.1.1"
i have tried to modprobe each of the drivers listed from modprobe -l | grep atl and then restarted network "/etc/rc.d/network restart" but it always return "eth0: unknown interface: no such device" and the network stop fails when i restart it.
i tried to download latest drivers from http://partner.atheros.com/Drivers.aspx but when i do make install i get the following error
Makefile:61 *** Linux kernel source not found. Stop.

Hi,
I also bought this laptop and encountered a similar problem. The solution was simple: connect to a wireless network and update to a newer kernel; the drivers for the network card were not included in the older kernel version on the installation image.

Edit: oops, i misread the OP's date. sorry if the problem was already solved ;-)
