I got it working with this change:

--- ./drivers/net/ethernet/atheros/alx/main.c.orig	2013-06-16 11:13:30.763491166 +0200

+	pdev->dev_flags |= PCI_DEV_FLAGS_MSI_INTX_DISABLE_BUG;
 	return err;
 }
 

The compat-wireless-3.6.8-1-snpc driver applied this
flag for AR8161 and AR8162 if I got it correctly.


Thanks
