Hi mika!

Just testing the current develrelease.

atl2 does not work with my onboard network device, but the atl1 driver works
like a charm out of the box. Thx.

# modinfo atl1 | grep description

Thanks for your suggestion, Darshaka.

The current develrelease of grml provides atl2:

# modinfo atl2 | grep description
description:    Attansic 100M Ethernet Network Driver

Could you please test, whether this driver works for your NIC as
well?

You can find the ISO at:

It seems that the atl1 driver was included in kernel version 2.6.21

[1] http://www.hogchain.net/attansic/attansic.html

As I asume, that the kernel will also be upgraded in the next grml release (as
usual ;)), this issue is just for reference for anybody who encounter the same
problem.

The onboard network device can not be used in grml 1.0

The following driver worked flawlessly for me:

[1] http://sourceforge.net/projects/atl1/

mini instructions (as user grml):

% tar -xvzf atl1-2.0.7-linux-2.6.20-standalone.tar.gz
% cd atl1-2.0.7-linux-2.6.20
% sudo make install
% sudo modprobe atl1
