[LUG] XenServer + Atheros AR8151

 

Anyone know how to make this network card work on XenServer? It's
ridiculously difficult for some reason.

lspci -nnk | grep -i net
02:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Qualcomm Atheros AR8151 v2.0 Gigabit
Ethernet [1969:1083] (rev c0)

lsmod | grep atl1e
atl1e                  27572  0

modinfo -F version atl1e
1.0.0.7-NAPI

The correct driver is present and loaded but unlike the other bog
standard network card (DLink DGE-528T) in the machine I just cannot get
XenServer to see it. I've even gone through the laborious process of
installing the DDK VM on the host and using it to build my own driver
RPMs and it *still* doesn't work.

There's a relevant thread about it here:

Anyone?
