sk98lin doesn't work



Hi, there

I've been installing Debian Sarge into a newly bought server which has 2 64-bit CPU ( Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.00GHz) and 2 1G-NICs. 

The kernel I am using is 2.6.8-9-em64t-p4-smp, from the
kernel-image-2.6.8-9-em64t-p4-smp package.

It works great except one thing. One of the 1G-NICs doesn't work. 

lspci shows that this NIC is a:

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
0000:05:00.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd.: Unknown
device 4361 (rev 17)
    Subsystem: Intel Corp.: Unknown device 5021
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The driver I need should be sk98lin. But when I `modprobe sk98lin`, I
got an error message, says

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
FATAL: Error inserting sk98lin
(/lib/modules/2.6.8-9-em64t-p4-smp/kernel/drivers/net/sk98lin/sk98lin.ko):
No such device
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The next thing I tried was downloading and recompiling the kernel source.
And I got an error message again, says

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
scripts/mod/empty.c:1: error: code model `kernel' not supported in the
32 bit mode
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Then, I come here to seek for help.

Thanks for any ideas!

Xiaolin
