Description hexchain 2012-12-13 05:54:04 UTC
After upgraded to kernel 3.7, the ALX driver in compat-drivers nolonger functions. Building is successful, but it is unable to load.

dmesg before kernel update, using compat-wireless 20121003:
Dec 12 12:12:09 lightning.hexchain.org kernel: alx 0000:03:00.0: DMA to 64-BIT addresses

After kernel update, any version of compat-driver before 20121204 fails to build.

Can you post the output of dmesg ?
Comment 2 QCA Ethernet team 2012-12-14 20:51:23 UTC
compat-driver of 20121204, just pass compiler, all of tx/rx function is abnormal, we are debugging it internally.

> Can you post the output of dmesg ?

I think it is in the first post. I'm using systemd and the log was grep'd from systemd journal, so it may look a bit strange.

So, there's no way to use this driver with 3.7 kernel?
Comment 4 Oleksandr Natalenko 2012-12-16 13:49:05 UTC
In rare cases alx fails with similar symptoms on 3.6 kernels. But it happens rarely enough.

yes, but we'll publish a real usable one soon.
Comment 6 Oleksandr Natalenko 2012-12-19 22:08:08 UTC
I have to say that compat-wireless-2012-09-27-pc.tar.bz2 works with 3.6.11. But I haven't tested it with 3.7.

I've successfully installed this driver on 3.7.1-1-ARCH. Works well so far.

Comment 10 mp-001 2013-02-21 07:48:40 UTC
Im on fedora 18 running on asus n76vm. Since upgraded from fedora 17 alx will crash when the interface comes up. When running the f17 kernel i've kept (vmlinuz-3.6.11-1.fc17.x86_64), alx is quite usable.


wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/backports/2013/02/20/compat-drivers-2013-02-20-u.tar.bz2
tar -xf compat-drivers-2013-02-20-u.tar.bz2
cd compat-drivers-2013-02-20-u
./scripts/driver-select alx
sudo make install
sudo modprobe alx

Since the driver does not detect a link, i restart NetworkManager:

service NetworkManager restart

Then it crashes:

Have to hard reset the box, can't unload the module.

There are people having related problems: 
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/dkms-alx/

Any info i can provide?
Comment 11 pru 2013-03-05 19:53:42 UTC
The last working thing on F18 is compat-wireless-3.6.8-1-snpc.tar.bz2 (with compilation fixes), but the compat-drivers-* do not.
Comment 12 mp-001 2013-03-09 22:00:46 UTC
compat-drivers-2013-03-04-u is working on F18 (at least kernel 3.7.9-205 and 3.8.1-201 / Asus N76VM), but after suspend-resume the device is gone (`sudo rmmod alx; sudo modprobe alx` is fixing this).

please remove following lines in alx_resume

-	if (!netif_running(netdev))
-		return 0;
