Hello all,
I'm having issues installing network drivers for my Acer netbook
(Aspire One 722). Both my wired and wireless networking is not
functional.
Listing from "lspci" looks like this:
miso@northbrook:~/drivers/drv/compat-wireless-2012-02-25$ lspci|grep -i net
06:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications AR8152 v2.0 Fast
Ethernet (rev c1)
07:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. Device 0032 (rev 01)
I have tried to install the
linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic package and the wired
network seemed to work with it (wired network detected, IP address
assigned) but failed to function after a while. That's why I decided
to to download the latest compat-wireless-2.6.tar.bz2 package and
compile it.
I made sure that I've got the kernel headers corresponding to my running kernel:
miso@northbrook:~/drivers/drv/compat-wireless-2012-02-25$ uname -a
Linux northbrook 2.6.32-38-generic #83-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jan 4 11:12:07

Follows the process of compilation along with the errors I get:

Any ideas how I could make it work?
Thanks.
