Thread: Dell XPS One 27: No ethernet after 13.04 upgrade

i upgraded 13.04 using software updater, , wired ethernet not connecting.

have dell xps 1 27 uses alx driver. have installed alx driver source whenever there kernel upgrade, believe 13.04 has it's own driver atheros cards.

if try normal compile, getting:

code:
