Guest Rift Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Hi. I'm new to Mandriva, and pretty much Linux overall. I recently installed Mandriva 2008.1 Spring using a One LiveCD I burned on my ASUS X52SA laptop (it's pretty much the same as the F3SA model). The installation went without a hitch but I found 2 things that didn't work out of the box. When I tried configuring the network options, it listed my card as Attansic L1 Gigabit Ethernet (on my Vista OS, it's listed as Atheros, but I just found out they're the same thing anyway). But when I tried to configure it, it said that it couldn't detect the network interface (using atl1 driver). Is this a driver issue, or something else? Another problem is that I don't get any sound on Mandriva. None at all. I have Realtek High Definition Audio on my system. Please lend me your guidance. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniewicz Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 For your sound problem, is the volume control in KMix set to zero? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rift Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 (edited) Nope. I checked KMix and set all the sliders to max but still nothing. Edit: I just managed to fix the sound problem. Added ¨options snd-hda-intel model=lenovo¨ to modprobe.conf and now it works like a charm! Now that just leaves me the Ethernet controller problem to deal with.

pmpatrick Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Open a console and post the output of: $ lspci That will list everything on your pci bus from which you can determine exactly what ethernet controller you have. By the way, I assume you are trying to configure a wired connection. I generally associated atheros with wireless cards which made me wonder.

scarecrow Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 (edited) Add a line alias eth0 atl1 to your /etc/modprobe.conf, and if necessary preload "atl1" module. Should work, although I haven't heard the best of things about the stability of this driver. Plus, if the kmix switches aren't right switch from "model-lenovo" to "model=uniwill-m31" and see if it gets any better. Defining the right model/codec for the stupid Azalia chips is always quite bothersome, even if you do know the exact chipset/codec under windoze...

I generally associated atheros with wireless cards which made me wonder. Yeah, I came across a lot of complaints about the wireless one while trying to find a solution for my problem. Most people had their wireless not working whereas mine was the other way around, so I found that odd lol. Add a line alias eth0 atl1 to your /etc/modprobe.conf, and if necessary preload "atl1" module. Should work, although I haven't heard the best of things about the stability of this driver. Ok, that did the trick. Thanks for all your help. Edited July 30, 2008 by Rift Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
