Bug#358424: kernel-image-2.6.8-11-em64t-p4-smp: sk98lin driver not finding my gigabit card
Package: kernel-image-2.6.8-11-em64t-p4-smp
Version: 2.6.8-16sarge1
Severity: wishlist
The builtin sk98lin driver in that kernel cannot detect properly that
gigabit card.
sk98lin: No adapter found.
Using the manufacturer driver works, however, and the card is properly
detected:
http://www.marvell.com/drivers/driverDisplay.do?dId=107&pId=10
sk98lin: Network Device Driver v8.28.1.3
(C)Copyright 1999-2005 Marvell(R).
ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:04:00.0[A] -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17
PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:04:00.0 to 64
eth1: Marvell Yukon 88E8050 Gigabit Ethernet Controller
PrefPort:A RlmtMode:Check Link State
Things are not really critical since the driver installs pretty cleanly
and works very well, but i'd be nice to avoid relying on that external
driver, especially for upgrades.
This machine is a Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.40GHz (hyperthreaded, so
SMP) with 2 gigs of ram. lspci -vvv for the device:

There.. I'm not sure if this actually belongs here, but it seems to me it's
something to keep in mind, and I'm pretty sure the LKML guys would hit me on
the head for complaining about this. :)
