I have an HP Pavilion dm4 laptop that I am dual-booting
Windows 7 and CentOS 5.7.  The Ethernet device is an
Atheros AR8151.

In Linux I am getting the "eth0 does not seem to be present"
message when I try to activate the device, which tells me I need the
driver.
Or is it something else?

Thanks,
-Richard Vaughn

Have a look at <http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1677122>.

Have you tried googling 'AR8151 Linux'?

Did I ever.  Here's the latest:
Downloaded, unpackaged AR81Family-Linux-v1.0.1.9.tar.gz.

Ran make install.  Got..
.....
/root/eth0/kcompat.h:1575: error: redefinition of 'struct napi_struct'
make [3]: *** [/root/eth0/src/at_common_main.o] Error 1
make [2]: *** [_module_/root/eth0/src] Error 2

Which is where I am now.

Thoughts, anyone?

OK.  Here's what I did.
Modified kcompat.h per this: http://blog.lkc.idv.hk/?p=3D338.

Then re-ran make install, which seemed to work:
[root@localhost src]# make install
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.18-274.el5/build SUBDIRS=3D/root/eth0/src
modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-274.el5-x86_64'
  Building modules, stage 2.
  MODPOST
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-274.el5-x86_64'
# remove all old versions of the driver
find /lib/modules/2.6.18-274.el5 -name atl1e.ko -exec rm -f {} \; ||
true
find /lib/modules/2.6.18-274.el5 -name atl1e.ko.gz -exec rm -f {} \;
|| true
install -D -m 644 atl1e.ko /lib/modules/2.6.18-274.el5/kernel/drivers/
net/atl1e/atl1e.ko
/sbin/depmod -a || true
install -D -m 644 atl1e.7.gz /usr/share/man/man7/atl1e.7.gz
man -c -P'cat > /dev/null' atl1e || true
Formatting page, please wait...

From there I ran "rmmod atl1e.ko" and "insmod atl1e.ko" w/ no
complaints.
Then I ran "modprobe atl1e" w/ no complaints.

Then I ran "ifconfig -a", but still no eth0.
Thoughts on this?

CentOS 5.7.  64-bit.  2.6.18-274.el5 #1.

Thanks,
-Richard
