Bug#416200: linux-image-2.6.18-4-686: Missing sk98lin module.

["Andrew N." <andrewn@pssnet.com>]

Package: linux-image-2.6.18-4-686
Version: 2.6.18.dfsg.1-11
Severity: normal


This version of the kernel is missing the sk98lin module for:

dmesg:
skge 1.6 addr 0xfeaf8000 irq 225 chip Yukon-Lite rev 9
skge eth2: addr 00:11:d8:74:2c:2f

The skge module is erroring out with:

#ifup eth2
SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
eth2: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device
SIOCSIFBRDADDR: No such device
eth2: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
eth2: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
Failed to bring up eth2. 

The sky2 and marvell module do not pick up the network card.
With 2.6.18-3-686 was able to use "pre-up rmmod sk98lin;modprobe
sk98lin" in /etc/network/interfaces file to make the nic functional.
