Dear List,
first of all I wish to greet all members.
My name is Giovanni and I'm a chemist in Naples, Italy.

The problem I found is as follows: at work I use Fedora 10 and a few 
days ago I changed the motherboard because the old one is broken. With 
the new motherboard LAN connection to the network has stopped working.
The new motherboard is as follows:
http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3505 # sp

and as a controller LAN has, as you can see, the Atheros AR8151 chip 
(10/100/1000 Mbit).

I saw on the net that there were many problems with this AR8151 chip.
I also tried to download the latest drivers and install them, but 
nothing to do. I only found drivers for Atheros different versions of 
the chip, but not for AR8151

Unfortunately I am forced to not being able to upgrade the operating 
system to the new Fedora 19.

I also tried to live to start both Fedora 19 and Ubuntu 13.04 and the 
LAN is working properly. So I think it is intended solely as a driver 
problem.

Thank you in advance for the help you want to give me.
Greetings to all,

Friendliness.
