[SOLVED]Driver alx works on livecd but not on disk system for AR8161

My ethernet card is AR8161, not yet contain in the kernel.
I compiled and installed compat-driver on the archlinux CD 2013.04.01 successfully, and i finally got eth0 work and intall a new archlinux on my disk.
When i reboot to the new system, try" ip link set eth0 up" and it said "cannot found device eth0", so i compiled the driver again and it make no sence( still cannot found device eth0).

(
cd compat*
./scripts/driver-select alx
make
make install
modprobe alx
)

the messenge return on CD and New system are all the same.
Does anyone know why Driver alx works on livecd but not on disk system for AR8161?
Thanks.

The kernel on cd is 3.8.4 and on the new system is 3.8.6, so i tried 3.8.4 installed on the new system and re compiled the driver.
It still did not work.

Your network interfaces terms would have changed.
What is your output of

ip addr
