Attansic L2 100Mbit Ethernet Adapter on Debian Lenny

It appears Attansic was recently bought by Atheros.
However, getting it to work on GNU/Debian Lenny is as simple as:

apt-get install atl2-modules-2.6-686
modprobe atl2


And here it is:

root@gw # ifconfig eth1
eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1e:8c:18:88:a6
