Hi community, anyone know where / how I can get a Gigabit Ethernet driver for the Qualcomm Atheros AR8161.

I have an oldish Dell Inspiron AIO that Ghost runs very well in except no ethernet - only wifi and that slows down productivity too much.

I couldn't find anything in the repositories.

Cheers and thanks in advance.

It should just work.

what does "sudo ifconfig" show

I'm doing a web search

Ok, I started dhclientd and ifconfig alc0 up and it now works. Has me stumped why it needs this manual intervention but at least the drivers are all ok.

Many thanks Rod, I'll keep looking at this.

Righto, I ended up re-installing this time at the live user stage I started alc0 manually as above, left wifi alone then continued on with the rest of the install. All went well, Ethernet is up as expected.
