Problems with atl1c module (Atheros AR8152 v1.1)

Hey guys,

I discovered my ethernet isn't working anymore today (I'm using wifi all the time), when I updated to the new kernel version and found my wireless dysfunctional. Luckily I fixed wifi after all (had to blacklist the bcma module).

Still I want to fix my broken ethernet now, but this gives me a hard time: I'm using a Atheros AR8152 v1.1 based card, so the atl1c module should be the thing to use and this must have worked for some time, since I had to install the wifi stuff somehow when setting up Arch some months ago.

All I get now are the following lines of dmesg's output:

atl1c 0000:01:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16
atl1c 0000:01:00.0: setting latency timer to 64
atl1c 0000:01:00.0: cannot map device registers
atl1c 0000:01:00.0: PCI INT A disabled
atl1c: probe of 0000:01:00.0 failed with error -5

All I got by looking around in the internet was a tip to disable acpi by booting with the acpi=off or the acpi=copy_dstd kernel parameter, but this didn't do anything besides leaving me with a more or less dysfunctional system in the first case...

Can somebody give me a hint on what to do?

Re: Problems with atl1c module (Atheros AR8152 v1.1)

Hello,
I am owner of AR8131 which runs with atl1c without problems.
Unfortionally it seems that module does not have any optional parameters so i guess it wont be "easy" fix.
hits:
check your bios for "NET AI" or w/e named function that checks for bad cabels ( got many problems in the past with nvidia cards if i remember correct with those type of functions )
In any case wish ya luck
