#HOW TO REINSTALL NETWORK DRIVER DRIVERS#

Welcome to Linux! No go out and buy some older hardware that someone has already made free drivers for. If not, you will have to compile it yourself, as per How do I get a Qualcomm Atheros Killer E2200 gigabit ethernet card working? from.

#HOW TO REINSTALL NETWORK DRIVER UPDATE#

If there are enough cards like that out in the world, or he upstreamed it, all you have to do is to update Linux and it will just work. Someone updated the driver to work with your card, lucky you. Then I did a web search, and found out that is is an Atheros device, and similar to the 'alx' driver. So I grepped my kernel tree for 'killer' and 'e2200' and couldn't find anything. Newer Linuxes don't use 'eth' as interface names any more. You can manage the interface with the 'ifconfig' or 'ip link' commands: ifconfig

If this returns 'alx', then the driver is already loaded: lsmod | grep alx I still need to contribute this fix to the NetworkManager project. Sometimes my intel drivers for my onboard Wi-Fi dies, then I have to remove and re-add it: rmmod iwlmvm But the module names are the same as the directory before Kconfig, so you can check if it is active with lsmod: lsmod It might yield something like: drivers/net/dsa/Kconfig: tristate 'Qualcomm Atheros QCA8K Ethernet switch family support'Дrivers/net/dsa/Kconfig: This enables support for the Qualcomm Atheros QCA8K EthernetДrivers/net/ethernet/atheros/Makefile:# Makefile for the Atheros network device drivers.Дrivers/net/ethernet/atheros/Kconfig:# Atheros device configurationДrivers/net/ethernet/atheros/Kconfig:config NET_VENDOR_ATHEROSДrivers/net/ethernet/atheros/alx/Makefile:obj-$(CONFIG_ALX) += alx.oДrivers/net/ethernet/atheros/alx/Makefile:alx-objs := main.o ethtool.o hw.oДrivers/net/ethernet/qualcomm/Kconfig: This enables support for the Qualcomm Atheros QCA7000.Дrivers/net/ethernet/qualcomm/Kconfig: tristate 'Qualcomm Atheros QCA7000 SPI support'Дrivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/Kconfig: bool 'Atheros bluetooth coexistence support'Дrivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/Kconfig: tristate 'Atheros 802.11n wireless cards support'Дrivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/Kconfig: Atheros IEEE 802.11n AR5008, AR9001 and scan support'Дrivers/net/wireless/ath/Kconfig: bool 'Atheros/Qualcomm devices'Дrivers/net/wireless/ath/Kconfig: For information on all Atheros wireless drivers visit:Дrivers/net/wireless/ath/ar5523/Kconfig: tristate 'Atheros AR5523 wireless driver support'Дrivers/net/wireless/ath/carl9170/Kconfig: This is the mainline driver for the Atheros 'otus' 802.11n USB devices.Дrivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/Kconfig: tristate 'Atheros 802.11ac wireless cards support'Дrivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/Kconfig: Atheros IEEE 802.11ac family of chipsets.Дrivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/Makefile:# Copyright (c) 2004-2011 Atheros Communications Inc.Дrivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/Makefile:# Copyright (c) 2011-2012 Qualcomm Atheros, Inc.Дrivers/net/wireless/ath/wcn36xx/Kconfig: Qualcomm Atheros WCN3660 and WCN3680 mobile chipsets.Дrivers/net/wireless/ath/ath5k/Kconfig: bool 'Atheros 5xxx AHB bus support'Дrivers/net/wireless/ath/ath5k/Kconfig: This adds support for WiSoC type chipsets of the 5xxx AtherosДrivers/net/wireless/ath/ath5k/Kconfig: bool 'Atheros 5xxx PCI bus support'Дrivers/net/wireless/ath/ath5k/Kconfig: This adds support for PCI type chipsets of the 5xxx Atheros Or grep -ri killer /usr/src/linux*/drivers/net/ grep -ri e2200 /usr/src/linux*/drivers/net/

#HOW TO REINSTALL NETWORK DRIVER HOW TO#

The other answer answers here give great detail on how to compile the driver module and insert it - if you look at the Linux source code, you can 'grep' your device name in the /drivers/net directory eg. All drivers are usually built into big distributions like Debian (or Ubuntu) and Centos. The latest network devices usually take a while to work their way into the Linux kernel.
