How can I install drivers for 64-bit Atheros AR8161/8165 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (NDIS 6.20) for Ubuntu 12.04. I dual boot Windows7/Ubuntu 12.04 drivers work for 64-bit Windows 7.

UPDATE: The ALX driver will be officially added in newer kernels, but in the meantime you can find it here: The ALX driver

The original poster didn't put this up so I will. Apparently there is supposed to be a combined bluetooth/network driver by Atheros, and it needs the alx module. (From someone elses post on Ubuntu 12.04) but there is no alx module. Still isn't showing up on my Lenovo Ideapad Y480 on kernel 3.5.0-18.
