if u increase the width- water will go slower, cos the pressure will be smaller:)

I noticed that the attansic L1 doesn't play well with overclocking (for me at least). Anyone else? with my E2140 at an FSB of anything over 233, i would get corrupted data (ie EXEs that don't run, DMGs that don't mount, AVIs that can't be skipped forward). my PCI/PCIe Realtek, Via, 3com, Marvell NICs don't have this problem. WHY would ASUS choose to make the L1 rather than use a proven chip from another manufacturer?

All the same, it would be very nice to have a driver, to free up a PCI slot.

costs maybe, maybe asus got better deal from attansic than realtek etc.

it maybe pci-e frequency. check if its not overclocked along with fsb? the standard value for pci-e should be 95Mhz i think, but not sure the exact number

Hi all

Just noticed this thread, is there a beta of the driver we can test?


Thanks

I.

I'll keep monitoring this thread. Test offered.

yeah did some research. seems attansic was a subsidary of some sort of ASUS, before they were bought by Atheros.

I'll try playing with the PCIe freq. thanks.

Aside:
100 posts, w00t i've reached geek status!!

BRAVO:) i'm still a newbie:D

Hi, any news on the driver development?


it would be nice to have it done


I´ve got my attansic L1 lan to work on linux, i think the link of the project was already posted in this topic, does anyone know how to port it to mac? I have some spare time to devote!

"bump"

do you have the drivers for Attansic L1 ? or do not exist drivers?
thks

go and buy realtek nic. attansic project is dead i suppose...

it is very complicated create this drivers ? :s

I have an attansic l2 fast ethernet AND NEED MAC OSX DRIVERS.

L2 is almost the same, as L1 It's not very complicated, but need to be deeply tested after each step of development. It's hard to develop drivers w/o special tools, like network simulation and so on.


BTW, please, can anyone point out, what type of board has Atheros L1 and L2 chip?

Asus P5GC-MX/1333 has Atheros L2 chip. I tried the L1 debug driver. Seems to behave the same like L1.
Thanks for your effort DaemonES.

hey DaemonES,
i'll provide you with a P5L-VM 1394 to help get driver going?

interested?

my mobo is ASUS P5K SE. it's using Atheros L1 Gigabit ethernet adapter....

thx for ur development,and we all hope u can done this hard project!~!!

It's been many years.
I don't think our LAN will ever be supported.

If you can really do this, why not. For me it's point of honour to finish this driver )

hi

I have an Asus P5L-MX mobo with this onboard Attansic L1.

Can i join to the driver test ?

thx

I don't mean to be an a#$, but I hope it doesn't take another year.

IS IT FINISHED???
Asus P5K-SE-LAN DRIVER FOR LEOPARD???

doubt it.

Add laptop pm965 chipset to the list of being cursed with the L1.

Many new laptops have this...... help me!!

i don't know if daemones is aware of this but there are official linux drivers out for the L1.. on the asus website
i hope this helps

What is the status of the driver.
I'm one of the unlucky people of whom the wireless nor lan will work

This driver is great idea!

OK, I started looking at the source code, and I'm getting confused right here:
#define ATL1_GET_DESC(R, i, type) (&(((type *)(®->desc))[i]))
#define ATL1_RFD_DESC(R, i) ATL1_GET_DESC(R, i, struct rx_free_desc)
#define ATL1_TPD_DESC(R, i) ATL1_GET_DESC(R, i, struct tx_packet_desc)
#define ATL1_RRD_DESC(R, i) ATL1_GET_DESC(R, i, struct rx_return_desc)

Can someone explain me what (&(((type *)(®->desc))[i])) produces?

thnx

This is soooo frustrating,IS THEIR ANYONE hwo managed to operate the onboard lan of the P5K MB??? (Attansic L1)!!

I think this guy.
http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...c=79459&hl=
I waited years for this project until I just went to the store to get another card after loosing hope.

the driver seems to work correctly except the last part.. the packet handling.
When i make the link go up there are constantly packages coming in, what is correct.
But all the packets passing through the RRD seem to be empty resulting in a bad packet.

This is the log i got with a little bit more debugging added:

If DaemonES is still out here, could you enlighten me a bit on atl1RxInterrupt.
Thanks

Hello

e-mail: DaemonES at gmail dot com
or on IRC

DaemonES, nice to see you (still) following this thread
Btw, did you get that board offered by someone?

Guys,if their is any hope on finnishing this driver please say so,ANY help from me is offered!!!

nope. I've just keep watching on this thread

2 asot just keep praying

Ok, let's together and worship the . Maybe there'll be some . I'd call you , DaemonES

yeah, maybe a cannot buy another board and send it to u- just a poor student:P but if any debug, testing needed just let me know. will do my best:)

updates?

I'd like to beta test your drivers for the L1 if you can send them to hacktrix2006@live.com, i'd be glad to help!

Hi guys is there anything i can help you with as i've found out that urbunto has support for this LAN card out of the box. It even has all the info.

Yea I am also looking forward to getting this driver. Also hackrix its ubuntu not urbunto - sorry

I think my Attansic onboard (P5K) was recognized when I installed the UPHUCK Iatkos v.1 DVD, couldn't use this release for some other reasons and never managed to get this working again.

Can anyone confirm, Attansic lan works on Iatkos???

regards DrDeelay.

...added a Realtek-Card to make Lan working.

Thanks Kiwi89 for correction, I notice this as well but i can't find the file on the dvd of iaktos v1.0 infact it even showed my intel 3945 as a airport device.! After installing iaktos v1.0 and booting up after install it went so it must be a file somewhere to enable it i shell have a look for it and if i find i'll let you know!

DaemonES,

I'm willing to test your drivers. I'm stuck with my hackint0sh without network support.

Let me know if you need any assistance.

Yea DaemonES Ill test as well, Im buying a wireless card when I get time to go out, but it would be handy to have drivers for my wired card.

Same here if you can send me your drivers i'm happy to test it for you!
Then hopefully i'll have a hackingtosh with somekind of network support

I was looking at the source but then my laptop broke
So waiting for my laptop to come back from store, As soon as that happens i'll let you all know.

But I got stuck with the source, When receiving a packet the rx_interupt somewhere gave an error.
Where the rrd_ring was created in this function it stayed 0 and can't find out why.
As result the rrd_ring->valid check fails and the packet is not correct.
If anybody knows, please help me out here.

I looked at linux source... they do it the same way, only different declarations on some variables.

I'll try looking at the Iatkos dvd.

Well Attansic L1 DMA completely not understandable for me. This stupid hacks with RRD descriptors and so on. The right way is complete port from other OS. But sometimes it doesn't work, like in this case. DMA part of Linux atl1 is completely the same as in vendor driver written bu Attansic. Code is very poor. Maybe someday they will release specification, but until that...

I know, that one guy start merging atl1 and atl2 in atlx driver, that will have one codebase. Maybe in this case code will be more clear for me.

FreeBSD now has Atheros driver too, and it looks good. So, somebody can use it to write new driver http://people.freebsd.org/~yongari/age/

I got my laptop back so I'll try looking at the code of FreeBSD.
