Ethernet Atheros AR8132 / L is gone after .34-update

The ethernet controller: 07:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Atheros AR8132 / L1c Gigabit Ethernet Adapter (rev c0)
was just not showing up anywhere after a update to .34 Has been working just fine until this update. Ifconfig was just displaying the lo interface after the update, which kind of baffled me - I didn't expect an ethernet network card to not work in a newer kernel.

Thanks to the wireless driver from AUR for my wifi card, I'm online again, but I would still like the ethernet card to work. Also, this should probably be reported somewhere upstream, if it isn't already? I feel a bit selfish when I fin a solution for mysel without sharing it the proper way to save others the trouble.

Exacly the same thing for me -> link (last post)

Atheors AR5212 is just gone, doesn't show up anywhere, and the card is off (no module is loaded).

Well, a "modprobe atl1c" makes my card (which is not th same as yours - which is even a wireless card, using a diferent driver, so probably no relevance) show up in networkmanager and ifconig output. I am currently moving, so I have no ethernet cable availible to see if it actually works. But strange that the driver is not detected and loaded automaticly.
