Atheros 1063 not detected

Hello

I used the UNetBootin utility on Windows to create a bootable ArchLinux USB keydrive ("core" -> Linux ArchLinux-2.6.33-ARCH).

After booting up an Acer 3810T laptop, the Atheros 1063 isn't detected, so I have no Gigabyte Ethernet.

Following the wiki, I typed "hwdetect --show-net", but it says "hwdetect: command not found".

What should I do to get ArchLinux to support that Ethernet chip?

Thank you.

The Atheros 1063 is supposed to use the atl1c module, correct? Try this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/As … X#Ethernet

I would suggest this: 1. use the new testisos 2. don't use unetbootin, it is not needed. (just use dd or imagewriter)
