Bug description:
  Around the same time frame as the 12.04 release, we will see
  AR8131/AR8151/AR8152/AR8161 available on consumer machines. If the
  driver is not accepted into linux-next by the time we have a kernel
  freeze, we will probably need to support this via lbm or other means.
  This driver is alx -

  Here is the first post of the driver
