NIC not recognized by vanilla boot floppies
On my machine, my NIC is not recognized by the boot floppies CD image.
When I try to manually install it per SysKonnect directions I get a
device or resource busy message.
lspci says it is from Galileo Technology Ltd. The support from
Syskonnect says it is a Marvell Yukon chipset. I found a patch for this
in bug report #283191, and massaged /usr/share/misc/pci.ids, so at least
lspci works now.

My NIC is SMC 9452TX Gigabyte, which uses driver sk98lin.o according to
SMC. The kernel finds the board, but says it is an unknown device.
I found this reference that says that if the board is recognized by the
kernel, you just need to execute ifconfig. My board must not be recognized.

How can I get the kernel to recognize my Marvell Yukon ethernet board or
install the driver so I can use the boot floppies?
