Bug#416200: linux-image-2.6.18-4-686: Missing sk98lin module.
Hi,
the output for "ip-link" from 2.6.18-3, I had to revert.

Here is a dmesg snip when the three nic's are brought up.

As mentioned before. In the older kernel (2.6.18-3), most likely due to
conflict with skge, I had to blacklist skge than rmmod sk98lin and insmod
sk98lin on each reboot to get the eth2 working.
As of 2.6.18-4 this is no longer functioning.
Thank you.
