Thank you for that information.

I was hoping that what Earl had previously advised would have resolved
your problem but, unfortunately, no it will not.

If you search the Device IDs page [1] (on the ELRepo Project's
web-site) for the pairing 1969:1091 there is no match. Hence no driver
is available from that source.

The only other option I can see is to check the kernel-lt [2] and
kernel-ml [3] packages from the same source. This is what I find --

[Duo2 ~]$ rpm -qa kernel\* | grep -vE 'dev|fir|head' | sort
kernel-2.6.32-279.22.1.el6.x86_64
kernel-2.6.32-358.11.1.el6.x86_64
kernel-lt-3.0.84-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64
kernel-ml-3.10.0-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64
[Duo2 ~]$ grep 1969 /lib/modules/*/modules.alias | grep 1091
/lib/modules/3.10.0-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64/modules.alias:alias
pci:v00001969d00001091sv*sd*bc*sc*i* alx
[Duo2 ~]$
[/quote]

The first command line shows the kernels that I have installed on this
system, the second command line shows that your particular Atheros NIC
is supported by the alx module which is only present in the latest
kernel-ml-3.10.0-1.el6.elrepo package.

I hope this information will help.

Alan.
