Comment 72 for bug 927782

@AceLan Kao,

If I understand what you're saying, the alx module included with Ubuntu corresponds to the one from qca/alx, which itself is the same as mcgrof/alx plus 8d41851.

Now, I don't know if mcgrof/alx has ever worked on any machine, or if this is just some kind of work-in-progress not intended to be used. I really don't know.

What I *do* know is that the alx module from compat-wireless-3.6.8-1 (snpc), from http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Download/stable/#compat-wireless_3.6_stable_releases, works perfectly.

I count about 33 commits on mcgrof/alx, which I assume apply on top of the driver as found in compat-wireless. But I really don't know how the git module is related to the compat-wireless module.

In any case, since I suppose most users (at least I do) prefer a *working* module rather than a "bleeding edge" *non-working* module, I suggest you include the alx module from compat-wireless 3.6.8-1 in the Ubuntu kernel.
