I have an ASUS N56VZ laptop equipped with an Atheros AR8161 Ethernet controller.

I tried your patches in #1 but i can't install it:
#sudo dpkg -i linux-backports-modules-cw-3.4-3.2.0-27-generic_3.2.0-27.12+lp1023566v1_amd64.deb

Anyway i tried the alx driver from http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/networking/alx on the upstream 3.5 kernel and it worked...

--> How can i properly install linux-backports-modules-cw-3.4 ?
--> When i apt-cache search linux-backports-modules-cw i only get linux-backports-modules-cw-3.3xxx
Can you help please ?
