I run Debian Wheezy, 3.4.0-10.dmz.1-liquorix-amd64 kernel.

If you fails to build kernel modules using 2012-07-03-pc, try other version. 2012-03-12-p works out for me.

I had weird error when I tried 2012-07-03-pc source.
:: Code ::

$ sudo modprobe alx
ERROR: could not insert 'alx': Exec format error


You can download source codes from www.orbit-lab.org/kernel/compat-wireless/2012/03/

Build procedure is simple:

make a build directory
$ tar xvjf [source tarball]
cd compat-wireless-something
/scripts/driver-select alx
$ make
$ sudo make install

kernel modules
:: Code ::

alx                    68274  0
compat                  1907  1 alx


cat /var/log/kern.log | grep -i Ath
