Re: Marvell Gigabit not working (SuSE 9.3 ok)

Intel only seems to have driver support for Red Hat, Suse, and Red 
Flag.  I had the same problem with the ethernet and sound drivers on my 
intel board.  I had extra ethernet and sound cards laying around, so I 
just disabled the onboard ethernet and sound. If someone has a solution, 
I look forward to reading it.

Good luck,

Hannuman
