We have just got some new Toshiba netbooks and the LAN adaptor has changed from a Realtek in our older Toshiba's to an Atheros AR8162 in the new ones, it's not detected by Clonezilla Live.
We run Windows XP/7 here and use clonezilla live on a USB stick to save and restore hard disk images to a shared folder on a windows server on the network.
Is there a way we can modify a clonezilla live USB to get it working with the Atheros LAN?

I'm having the Same issue with some new Tosh Netbooks using the AR8162 ive tried the Alternative and the Alternative Testing but it makes no difference.
I'm PXE booting it and it hangs before trying to download the filesystem.squashsf
I would like to know if we can get the driver into the Kernel

I've just tried usb booting Unbuntu 12.04 and unfortunatley Eth0 dosen't show up in that either so it could be a while until there is support in clonezilla

I've tried clonzilla-live-20120509-precise.iso but not a newer one. we have sent back our sample laptop so untill i get our order in i can't try again. i may order one in advance and try again with 20120525 but after looking at this thread i don't think its in there yet
i've now tested 20120607 which has kernel 3.2.0.24 in it and its still not working. How do i go about adding the driver to the kernel is there any guides on how to do this?

Hi Taylor, Sorry if I am suppose not to post here. But I was facing the same problem and I know the pain. So this is what I did with my Ubuntu based Clonezilla server.
My config:
Ubuntu 12.04 server with DRBL latest version.
I first updated my kernel to 3.5.0-49-generic using the command and this install driver for Atheros 8161

we need to add Atheros alx driver to the initrd.img but i dont know how.
So did you try Clonezilla live 1.2.12-58 or 20120519-precise?

OK, then unless you compile that, otherwise we will just wait for the upstream to make that.

If you are familiar with compiling a kernel module, then you can compile the module, and follow
http://drbl.org/faq/fine-print.php?path=./2_System/81_add_prog_in_filesystem-squashfs.faq#81_add_prog_in_filesystem-squashfs.faq
to put the module in the filesystem.squashfs.
Then follow
http://drbl.org/faq/fine-print.php?path=./2_System/87_create_clonezilla_iso_from_zip.faq#87_create_clonezilla_iso_from_zip.faq
to generate the iso file.

Ubuntu 12.04 server with DRBL latest version.
I first updated my kernel to 3.5.0-49-generic using the command and this install driver for Atheros 8161
apt-get update
apt-get install linux-generic-lts-quantal
Now I ran drblsrv -i where it asks for which version of kernel to use and choose the latest version of ayo repository 3.13.0-24-generic
after doing dcs, I got all my atheros 8162 clients working with Ubuntu. Hope this helps for you.
