As I've previously mentioned, I'ved tried using the default module that comes with the 2.6.16.27 kernel as well as patching it the the driver from the Marvell site.

what drivers have you tried?
looking at the 2.6.17.6 sources, there are 3 syskonnect/marvell
drivers:sk98lin, skge and sky2
reading the docu sky2 should probably fit

PS: i have an 2 older marvell chip that works with newer kernels and the
sk98lin driver, but have only read about the newer ones...
