Comments/Problems:
The module sk98lin needed by the network HW was not loaded automatically.
Choosing it from the list that showed after the automatic loading failure had
no effect.
Changing to the VT2, inserting ist manally by "modprobe sk98lin" and
inspecting the list put out by lsmod showed that ist was loaded.
But in /proc/net/sk98lin/ there was not the expected Document "eth0" - there
was nothing at all.
I guess that the driver module could not be assigned correctly to the lan
interface.
As I found out trying to install the i386 daily-build-image (loaded down on
April 17 at 10:11pm), there is a working sk98lin module loading
automatically.
Perhaps it is worth while taking its source code and compiling it in an amd64
environment?
Greetings,
Georg
