I just got a tarball of the driver that supports this and AR8151. Here's our current upstream support status table: Driver Model-name vendor:device Type atl1c AR8131 1969:1063 Gigabit Ethernet atl1c AR8132 1969:1062 Fast Ethernet atl1 L1 1969:1048 Gigabit Ethernet atl2 L2 1969:2048 Fast Ethernet atl1e AR8121/AR8113/AR8114 1969:1026 Gigabit/Fast Ethernet(dr= iver check one internal regis= ter to see if support gigabit) atl1c AR8151(v1.0) 1969:1073 Gigabit Ethernet(not sup= port in kernel yet) atl1c AR8152(v1.1) 1969:2060 Fast Ethernet(not suppor= t in kernel yet) atl1c AR8152(v2.0) 1969:2062 Fast Ethernet(not suppor= t in kernel yet) I just updated the PCI ID database accordingly. The driver patches for atl1c might be easy, will take a quick look. FWIW the tarball I will be looking at in a few moments is http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/mcgrof/ethernet/AR81Family-li= nux-v1.0.1.6.tar.bz2 Luis
