Hi Martin,

Would you also be able to update the drivers for the Atheros (now Broadcom, formerly Attansic) series?

I have a device that has the following PCI identifier:
05:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Attansic Technology Corp. Device [1969:1073] (rev c0)
The correct driver for this card is atl1c, which is (well, the module) included included. But the module is only there for these devices:

proxmox:~# modinfo /lib/modules/2.6.32-6-pve/kernel/drivers/net/atl1c/atl1c.ko
filename: /lib/modules/2.6.32-6-pve/kernel/drivers/net/atl1c/atl1c.ko
version: 1.0.0.1-NAPI
license: GPL
description: Atheros 1000M Ethernet Network Driver
author: Jie Yang <jie.yang@atheros.com>
srcversion: B679B4EF678AB94A69C067B
alias: pci:v00001969d00001062sv*sd*bc*sc*i*
alias: pci:v00001969d00001063sv*sd*bc*sc*i*
depends:
vermagic: 2.6.32-6-pve SMP mod_unload modversions

That is 1969:1062 and 1969:1063.

The new drivers were at partner.atheros.com, but that link is down because of the Atheros -> Broadcom transition. The drivers are however in the Linux Wireless project:
http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Download

Inside the package you'll find the driver source here:
compat-wireless-2011-11-08/drivers/net/ethernet/atheros/atl1c

Although note that this device is not a wireless device :].
 
is your NIC integrated on the mainboard, which one? Is this a desktop board?
 
WOW, they finally fixed all those kernel panic and chkpoint/resume problems! Nice... i would even say: Epic!
 
I highly recommend using server hardware, many reasons. best way to a stable system. fastest way would be you just plug in a Intel Nic in one of the expansion slots.

btw, this board has no support for ECC memory, which is not good. as far as I know, no intel desktop cpu supports ECC.

Click to expand...

That's what I'm doing now, which is fine. But it would be good to have two network interfaces :].

Yes, the board doesn't support ECC. But for this specific system, I do not really care ECC is not supported, as no critical applications are running on it.
