Print Page - How to install Killer e2200 Ethernet LAN Drivers (Mobo MSI Z87 G45) on BAMT/Deb

I spend a whole day thought this issue so its worth sharing.

This is what worked: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2008332&p=12604916#post12604916

I built the patch to work with
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/backports/stable/v3.9-rc2/compat-drivers-3.9-rc2-2-su.tar.bz2

then, in the same directory as the bz2 file:

Code:

tar -xjvf compat-drivers-3.9-rc2-2-su.tar.bz2
cd compat-drivers-3.9-rc2-2-su

then copy the alx-patch file into the compat-drivers directory

then:

Code:

patch --dry-run -p1 < alx-patch.txt

and if no errors:

Code:

patch -p1 < alx-patch.txt
./scripts/driver-select alx
make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe alx

and you should be done

if you want to patch a different version of compat-drivers for whatever reason, just move the alx-patch file into drivers/net/ethernet/atheros/alx, cd to it, and instead of patch -p1, patch -p6.

Here is the alx-patch.txt file content, so you dont have to register to have access:
