I'm working on moving a working server based on Centos 6.10 (Final) that is running on old Core 2 Duo hardware to a newer i3 box. The only hold-up right now is that integrated ethernet hardware the new box is based on Atheros Killer 2400 which Centos 6 does not support - yes, I know that Centos 7 does support it but porting all the configured services is more than I want to do at this time. I have tried installing the kmod-alx but still the ethernet hardware is ignored. How do I make Centos aware of it so that the etho is created or would I go about manually creating whatever config is required to activate this ethernet connection?
Thanks

What is the output from lspci -nn | grep -i net
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

Re: How to create a network connection for Atheros Killer E2400 hardware
It tells me:
$ lspci -nn | grep -i net
02:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Qualcomm Atheros Killer E2400 Gigabit Ethernet Controller [1969:e0a1] (rev 10)
And according to my research I installed kmod-alx that supposedly knows about it (but does not appear to):
$ rpm -q kmod-alx
kmod-alx-0.0-10.el6.elrepo.x86_64
Thank you for any advise!

Re: How to create a network connection for Atheros Killer E2400 hardware
Your version of the card is not supported by anything in the distro as can be seen by running
That card is also not supported by the current version of kmod-alx as can be seen from
So 1969:e091 is supported but 1969:e0a1 is not.
You could try asking ELRepo to rebuild the latest kmod-alx to see if that brings in support for that card.
Code: Select all
[trevor@c6test ~]$ grep -i 1969 /lib/modules/2.6.32-754.9.1.el6.x86_64/modules.* | grep -i e0a1
[trevor@c6test ~]$
Code: Select all
$ repoquery --provides kmod-alx
alx-kmod = 0.0-10.el6.elrepo
kabi-modules = 2.6.32-504.el6.x86_64
kmod-alx = 0.0-10.el6.elrepo
kmod-alx(x86-64) = 0.0-10.el6.elrepo
modalias(pci:v00001969d0000109[01]sv*sd*bc*sc*i*)
modalias(pci:v00001969d000010A[01]sv*sd*bc*sc*i*)
modalias(pci:v00001969d0000E091sv*sd*bc*sc*i*)

Excellent! Thank you very much!
Re: How to create a network connection for Atheros Killer E2400 hardware
For those who may be interested, I have opened a ticket with the ElRepo folks and they are working on a newer RPM that should move the kmod-alx support up to handle the E2400 and E2500 hardware
