    Compiling error in Atheros AR8152 Fast Ethernet driver

    Hello,
    I tried to compile Atheros AR8152 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller driver for fedora 13 64 bit kernel version is 2.6.34.7-56.fc13.x86_64. I have installed kernel source , kernel header and necessary all things to compile it. (linux-firmware-20100806-4.fc13.noarch also insatlled)

    I tried AR81Family-linux-v1.0.1.13 source from Atheros web site.

    But when I try to make it it give following error.

    Code:
    Makefile:173: *** *** Aborting the build. *** 
    This driver is not supported on kernel versions older than 2.4.0.  Stop.
    Can any one tell wht is wrong with me. It is not compiling issue because I compiled and installed broadcom wireless driver.

    Makefile is attached here (renamed as Makefile.txt -> Makefile)

    You shouldn't need to compile the Atheros driver. It's already in the kernel and the error is because that patch/build only works on kernel-2.4, you are using kernel-2.6.
    Can you post the output of this command?
    Code:
    lspci |grep -i net

    Hello,
    Here is the answer for lspci.
    Code:
    02:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g LP-PHY (rev 01)
    03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications AR8152 v1.1 Fast Ethernet (rev c1)
    How ever my Ethernet is not detecting and it is not showing in ifconfig.
