Attansic L2(Network Card Problem)

Hi, Iam new to Arch Linux, but i have used Ubuntu for 5-6 months. It seems, that Arch is better for me. Now i have a problem with network card driver. When i try to use #modprobe atl2, nothing happens. Anyone could help? Also i dont have a second pc, so iam switching from linux to winxp, or using ubuntu live cd.

Install the atl2 driver package - it's in the AUR.

Thx for help, but I have a problem .... I have downloaded from AUR atl2.tar.gz?So it must look like atl2.pkg.tar.gz? But before, I have updated my kernel, and tried to makepkg in atl2 folder. ALl goes OK, until it wants to download the source http://people.redhat.com/csnook... but i dont have internet connection, so process is aborting... Maybe someone could make me an atl2.pkg.tar.gz?
lol Iam confused ^^

Well you clearly have some access to the internet since you are posting here, so I would suggest downloading any sources manually and placing them in the atl2 folder- if makepkg finds them there it won't try to download them and you will be able to build the package.

Still no mercy ^^
Yeah I have edited PKGBUILD not to download sources, but use it from atl2 folder. And theres a new error at line 18 in this code:

build()
{
  cd ${startdir}/src/${pkgname}-${pkgver}
  make || return 1
  install -Dm644 atl2.ko ${startdir}/pkg/lib/modules/${_kernver}/kernel/drivers/net/atl2.ko
  sed -i -e "s/KERNEL_VERSION='.*'/KERNEL_VERSION='${_kernver}'/" $startdir/*.install
}

Line 18 is at make II return 1. Console says that command make is unknown... and its aborting >_>
Ohh someone please make me this pkg.tar.gz

I doubt if anyone will respond positively to that kind of helplessness here. If you have the Core iso, the make package is on it. If you don't have the Core iso, use your current net access to download the make package from your preferred Arch mirror. Either way, install it and build your module.
