Problem is present since update 3.8.12.
"update Atheros alx gigabit ethernet to latest upstream" ? Which version did you use Thomas ?

Yes, I know it's the 3.8.12-1 update that broke it for you...

Latest upstream is 3.8 branch of:
https://github.com/mcgrof/alx/tree/linux-3.8.y

You can build the latest version of alx driver by youself. It works well. See my bug 10153 for the link.

And yes, I do expect Thomas would update this driver in Mageia kernel package ASAP ;).

I will build a testkernel tonight for you to try out...

lspcidrake -v | grep -i network
alx             : Qualcomm Atheros|AR8161 Gigabit Ethernet [NETWORK_ETHERNET] (vendor:1969 device:1091 subv:1043 subd:1477) (rev: 08)
iwlwifi         : Intel Corporation|Centrino Wireless-N 2230 [NETWORK_OTHER] (vendor:8086 device:0887 subv:8086 subd:4062) (rev: c4)

Thank for your testkernel.

The iwlwifi not installed but on install, Non-Free reop was checked.

Is iwlwifi-agn-ucode installed ?

if so, can you attach the output as root of: journalctl -b

Hi,

I have downloaded with Calculate Linux (because wireless works) the RPM, and installed on Mageia 3.

It Works.

But ... At work, I don't have wireless.

Also, I use Calculate Linux instead of Mageia.

I also put in place a beginner, who will give Mageia if it encounters such problems ...

Note : tmb, you are the king of the kernel.

Thanks for your reactivity !

I confirm that it works now. Thank you very much.

Ok.tmb, you can push it into updates repos as Rellease2 of 3.8.13 version ?

All people can be use it

Great, the fix will be part of 3.8.13.1 release coming to updates_testing in a few days...

The same bug is present in 3.4.45-desktop-1.mga2 (3.4.34-desktop-1.mga2 is OK).

TMB : OK for me with :

I tested the kernel 3.9.6 on a Gentoo Distrib : alx not work.
I tested this morning on the 3.10 kernel in Gentoo distrib : the driver work perfectly.

If you build the 3.10 kernel for Cauldron, you can test drop your patch.

Yep, I know. a cleaned up / light version got merged upstream in 3.10

and alx is fixed in mga2 3.4.52 update kernels, mga3 3.8.13.4 update kernels and current cauldron 3.9 and 3.10 series kernels

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => FIXED
