I recently installed Fedora 17, 64 bit, on an HP h8-1320t. The machine has
an on-board ethernet port (RJ-45). According to the machine's spec sheet,
that is device is an "Atheros AR8161L".
Fedora does not see that interface device at all. Dmesg and
/var/log/messages contain no mention of "Atheros AR8161L" or any useful
substring thereof. There are no *eth0* files in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts.
I know that the port hardware works because I was able to make network
connections from the machine using MS Windows.
Thanks for any suggestions.

This appears to need the alx driver:

Which isn't on my fedora 17 box. You may have some luck trying the
compat-wireless packages:

(yes, I know ethernet, not wireless, still, that seems to be where it is)

It should show up in lspci.
