Networking - ASUS P5Q MB with Atheros/Attansic onboard Gb NIC

Titel: ASUS P5Q MB with Atheros/Attansic onboard Gb NIC
hey, long time since I have been back at Kanotix. I used Kanotix in a dual boot config a few years ago. I just recently got a shiny new system based on the ASU P5Q MB which has an Atheros/Attansic on-board Gb NIC. This NIC is clearly not supported in openSUSE (there goes 2 days of my life I will never get back !) So, I am here to ask if you guys know if this wired NIC, shown in hardware as the Atheros/Attansic AR8121/8113, is supported in Kanotix, particularly a HD install.

I know I could just go out and get a new PICe NIC (Intel e1000 based), but I'd prefer to just use the hardware I have and not spend more money.

I know when I used Kanotix in the past it was very good at full hardware detection and configuration.

So, any ideas ??

Just update the kernel, fetch it with Win if needed:

After running the ./install.sh and a reboot, your nic will run just fine.
