Hi all,
I have an asus s400ca and the ethernet is not detected. I followed instrcutions on a previous post to download and install the alx driver from https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/backports/2013/03/04/… I ran the ./scripts/driver-select alx , make and make install. Got an error there that the file didn’t exist.
Here is the output:
oz:/home/steve/drivers # cd compat-drivers-2013-03-04-u
oz:/home/steve/drivers/compat-drivers-2013-03-04-u # ./scripts/driver-select alx

I updated the kernel to the latest version and thought that might see the ethernet card, but no such luck.
Does anyone have any advice or direction I might go in?
Thanks.
