    Dell N7010 Ethernet connectivity (Fedora 13 x86_64)

    Hi,

    Per MikeTbob, a new thread w/ the particulars. There is no Ethernet (or wireless) connectivity for my new Dell N7010 with Fedora 13 64-bit. The drivers do not appear to be installed. Right now, the goal is to get the Ethernet controller (Atheros Communications AR8152 v1.1 Fast Ethernet) running. I have tried to install the AR81Family-linux-v1.0.1.13, but the tarball gives an error when attempting to extract it:

    "tar: Child returned status 2
    tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors"

    I also tried the compat-wireless-2.6 which also gave errors when trying to do a make:

    "make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.33.3-85.fc13.x86_64/build: No such file or directory. Stop.
    make: *** [modules] Error 2"

    Thank one and all for taking the time to read this and give constructive feedback!

    Ron

    So, here are the specific things MikeTbob requested be run (via his "wireless setup" link):

    [Ron AT localhost ~]$ uname -r

    2.6.33.3-85.fc13.x86_64

    and the files lspci.txt, dmesg.txt and lsmod.txt are attached. Note that the command dmesg | grep firmware returned nothing. Also please note the website didn't like the dmesg.txt filesize, so it was broken up into 4 separate files: dmesg1of4.txt, dmesg2of4.txt and dmesg3of4.txt<<< hit max file upload, so dmesg4of4.txt is in the reply to this post.

    Getting closer...

    Thank you, this gets things closer!

    Alas, still some issues though. The recommended file extracts OK, but upon doing make it gives the error:

    Code:
    Makefile:61: *** Linux kernel source not found. Stop.
    So, I tried:

    Code:
    yum install kernel-devel kernel-headers
    And got the error message:

    Code:
    Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: fedora. Please verify its path and try again
    Looking for repomd.xml results in a "No such file or directory" result. Gah... any suggestions? I know just enough Linux commands to be dangerous. Thanks again for the help.
