Alx driver freezes the connection in Linux kernel 3.8.1

[Liu, David]

HI,
Could you let me know which Ethernet device of Qualcomm Atheros you are using? Through use "lspci" can list all of devices.
Can you check ping fucntion is normal? Maybe you can set a fixed IP address and ping with other compuater.
If ping is abnormal, please provide the system log that get it by type "dmesg".

Many thanks.

Best Regard
David Liu

I am using arch linux with latest updates and using 3.8.1 kernel in arch linux from testing. I used your package https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/backports/2013/03/04/compat-drivers-2013-03-04-u.tar.bz2
I followed the instructions from here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Lenovo_IdeaPad_Y580#Installation
The driver works for a few mins and after a while  the connection freezes and no data transfer after that.
I am not sure what to look for either. I would be happy to post any log if you want.
