Marvell Gigabit not working (SuSE 9.3 ok)



Hi,

I'm trying to get a Marvell onboard Gigabit chip (Intel mainboard D925XECV2)
working on a freshly installed sarge system (Intel P4)

# lspci -v
...
0000:04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd.: Unknown 
device 4361 (rev 17)
	Subsystem: Intel Corp.: Unknown device 3078
	Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 3
	Memory at ff720000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
	I/O ports at b800 [size=256]
	Expansion ROM at ff700000 [disabled] [size=128K]
	Capabilities: [48] Power Management version 2
	Capabilities: [50] Vital Product Data
	Capabilities: [5c] Message Signalled Interrupts: 64bit+ Queue=0/1 Enable-
	Capabilities: [e0] #10 [0011]

Since it works with SuSE 9.3 (kernel 2.6.11.4) , I upgraded to the most
recent kernel (2.6.12-rc6), without success. I can't figure out what's 
different within the SuSE setup.

As far as I can see, it should work with the sk98lin module:

# lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by
ipv6                  272416  10 
af_packet              30984  0 
sk98lin               170976  0 

Nethertheless there is no eth0 device:

# ifconfig eth0 up
eth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device

# cat /etc/network/interfaces
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

I tried to add an eth0 alias:
# cat /etc/modules.conf
...
alias eth0 sk98lin

but the sk98lin still does not feel responsible for the Marvell chip.

/proc/net/sk98lin ist empty.

With SuSE I get:
# cat /proc/net/sk98lin/eth0


Detailed statistic for device eth0
=======================================

Board statistics

Card name                      Yukon Gigabit Ethernet 10/100/1000Base-T

Preferred Port                 A

Bus type                       PCI-Express
Bus width (Lanes)              1

Any hint what I might have missed? (Yes, I've configured
PCI Express support within the kernel)

Thanks, Thomas
