+
+ +While searching on the web you find that this ethernet device need the kernel module atl1e instead of atl1c. The following sources explain how to unpack & compile & install such module on usual distributions. As we are on a NixOS, things are a bit different. + +To follow the instruction you need to find a way to copy the module sources of AR81Family-linux-v1.0.0.10.tar.gz ([http://www.backtrack.it/~emgent/hackstuff/Attansic/ http://www.backtrack.it/~emgent/hackstuff/Attansic/]) on the targeted device. + +
+# avoid messing up your term
+[root@nixos:]# initctl stop dhclient
