However I can't get it working under Ubuntu, neither with standard kernel nor with newest mainline kernel 3.12 final. I doesn't seem to be recognized at all, does a driver for this chip exists, or do I have to wait till one gets released? How far is the developmend process? Thanks in advance Joshua ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread

I have the same notebook and reported to the Ubuntu bug tracker (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1182868) solution for me is to add the PCI vendor/product IDs to the tg3 driver there seems to be a fix in the upstream kernel, see http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/276813/ already hope the Ubuntu folk act on this regards, p. -- Peter Meerwald +43-664-2444418 (mobile) ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread
