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.
