= Configuration =

You can see the configuration file specific to this computer at [https://svn.nixos.org/repos/nix/configurations/trunk/computer/asus/m60j/jx041v.nix <code>configurations/computer/asus/m60j/jx041v.nix</code>]

= Problems & Solutions =
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
== No Ethernet ==
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This problem appear if you are using an old kernel.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<pre>[root@nixos:]# lspci -v | sed -n '/Ethernet/ { :loop p; n; s/^$//; T loop; q}'
 | 
						|
07:00.0 Ethernet controller: Attansic Technology Corp. Device 1063 (rev c0)
 | 
						|
        ...
 | 
						|
        Kernel driver in use: atl1c
 | 
						|
        Kernel modules: atl1c
 | 
						|
</pre>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
While searching on the web you find that this ethernet device need the kernel module <code>atl1e</code> instead of <code>atl1c</code>.  The following sources explain how to unpack & compile & install such module on usual distributions.  As we are on a NixOS, things are a bit different.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To follow the instruction you need to find a way to copy the module sources of AR81Family-linux-v1.0.0.10.tar.gz ([http://www.backtrack.it/~emgent/hackstuff/Attansic/ http://www.backtrack.it/~emgent/hackstuff/Attansic/]) on the targeted device.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<pre>
 | 
						|
# avoid messing up your term
 | 
						|
[root@nixos:]# initctl stop dhclient
 | 
						|
# add dependencies in the environment
 | 
						|
[root@nixos:]# nix-env -i gcc gnumake
 | 
						|
[root@nixos:]# ln -s /nix/store/*-linux-$(uname -r)/lib /lib
 | 
						|
# unpack & compile
 | 
						|
[root@nixos:]# mkdir /tmp/AR81Family-linux
 | 
						|
[root@nixos:]# cp .../AR81Family-linux-v1.0.0.10.tar.gz .
 | 
						|
[root@nixos:]# yes y | tar xzf AR81Family-linux-v1.0.0.10.tar.gz
 | 
						|
[root@nixos:]# cd src
 | 
						|
[root@nixos:]# make
 | 
						|
# Replace the current module
 | 
						|
[root@nixos:]# rmmod atl1c
 | 
						|
[root@nixos:]# modprobe /tmp/AR81Family-linux/src/atl1e.ko
 | 
						|
# start fetching an IP address.
 | 
						|
[root@nixos:]# initctl start dhclient
 | 
						|
</pre>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
At the end, you end up with a working interface and the following result:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<pre>[root@nixos:]# lspci -v | sed -n '/Ethernet/ { :loop p; n; s/^$//; T loop; q}'
 | 
						|
07:00.0 Ethernet controller: Attansic Technology Corp. Device 1063 (rev c0)
 | 
						|
        ...
 | 
						|
        Kernel driver in use: atheros_eth
 | 
						|
        Kernel modules: atl1c
 | 
						|
</pre>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Many reference to AR81Family-linux-v1.0.1.0.tar.gz can be found on the web, but the manufacturer links are broken.

== Grub ==
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* Changing the boot sequence in the BIOS is changing the apparent mapping of hard-drives.  Thus <code>hd0</code> and <code>hd1</code> are inverted in GRUB 2.
 | 
						|
* The MBR is not restored by the recovery CDs.
