tell me how I ca install this NIC??
I assume you mean the sk98lin module that I suggested to use? Exactly
what failed? Did you try the one which is available in the kernel? I
suggest trying this first. When you recompile the kernel you should
find the correct module.
** in the top level of the kernel source **
$ make menuconfig
then goto
Device Drivers ---> Networking support ---> Ethernet (1000 Mbit) --->
Select "Marvel Yukon Chipset/ SysKonnect SK-98xx Support" and compile it
as a module
the build the kernel image .deb (go ahead and build the headers
also...you will need this if this module fails to work, this can be done
in three steps
$ fakeroot make-kpkg clean
$ fakeroot make-kpkg binary-arch
$ sudo dpkg -i
/usr/src/kernel-{image,headers}(kernel-version)(--append-to-version)_(--revision)_(architecture).deb
then restart your system...logon
now load the module
$ sudo modprobe sk98lin
no bring the interface up
$ sudo ifconfig eth0 up
if that doesn't work you will have to compile the module from
SysKonnect. Follow the instructions at their website. Be sure to link
/usr/src/linux to
/usr/src/kernel-headers-(kernel-version)(--append-to-version) that you
created.
$ cd /usr/src
$ sudo ln -s kernel-headers-(kernel-version)(--append-to-version) linux

Hope that helps let me know how it goes.
