[Request]: et131x kernel module

Hi!

I desperately try to find someone kind enough to do build a package/kernel for the "et131x" module.

I need to install the following wired NIC:
01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Agere Systems|ET-131x PCI-E Ethernet Controller (unknown)

It seems that the "et131x" kernel module is necessary.
However, I can't find this module in Arch repositories.

The web site bellow gives instructions on how to install the driver from sources:
http://dadams1969.googlepages.com/et131xkernelmodule
Unfortunately, I am unable to do it.

I have also tried to install the module compiled by a member for the 2.6.20 kernel but this module refuses to load.
I suppose it is due to the fact that I am using the 2.6.22 kernel (i686)...

Thanking you in advance.

Re: [Request]: et131x kernel module

The "et131x" kernel module has been rebuilt for 2.6.22-ARCH thanks to "Tomk".
Refer to the following post: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 07#p284607

All those interested can get the new package at the following address:

I would like to thank the Archlinux community.

One thread on this will do. I'll close this one, we can use the other one.
