Good afternoon.
I bought an ECS G31T-M7 v1.0 motherboard. It has an Atheros AR8112 10/100 LAN.
I would like to install it.
How can I do ?
Thank you for your help.

Welcome to the [i]CentOS[/i] fora.
The recommended reading for all new members is the [url=https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewforum.php?forum=47]FAQ & Readme First[/url].
With regard to the relevant driver for the [i]Atheros[/i] device, will will need to known the [i]Vendor:Device ID Pairing[/i] (a.k.a. the [i]fingerprint[/i]) for the NIC. You may find it helpful to read [url=http://elrepo.org/tiki/FAQ]FAQ #4[/url] at the [url=http://elrepo.org]ELRepo[/url] website.
In summary, please execute the following on the system in question and post its output --
[code]
[b]for BUSID in $(/sbin/lspci | awk '{ IGNORECASE=1 } /net/ { print $1 }'); do /sbin/lspci -s $BUSID -m; /sbin/lspci -s $BUSID -n; done[/b]
[/code]

Thank you for that information.
Your next task is to become familiar with the [url=http://elrepo.org]ELRepo Project[/url]. ;-)
When I search the [url=http://elrepo.org/tiki/DeviceIDs]Device IDs page[/url] for that device [i]fingerprint[/i], ([b]1969:2048[/b]), I see --
[code]
[b]pci 1969:2048 kmod-atl2[/b]
[/code]
Hence we now know that your NIC is supported by the kernel independent, kABI tracking [url=http://elrepo.org/tiki/kmod-atl2]kmod-atl2[/url] package. Ensure that you install the correct package for your system architecture and kernel type.
If you are unsure which one to choose, please post the output returned by --
[code]
[b]uname -rmi[/b]
[/code]
