Whatever is in linux-next is on compat-wireless for the 2.6.33
releases. This includes these:

atl1e - L1E gigabit
atl1c - L1C gigabit - newest driver added as of 2.6.29
atl1 - L1 gigabit
atl2 - Fast ethernet (10/100 Mbit)

Not sure what AR8152 PCI-E fast ethernet is, I guess atl2, may want to
just try it:

http://www.orbit-lab.org/kernel/compat-wireless-2.6-stable/v2.6.33/compat-wireless-2.6.33-rc5.tar.bz2

Unfortunately I don't yet have a './scripts/driver-select ethernet'
but it should be fairly simple to add. If I get time I'll do that for
a next release.
