[solved] Debian support for Marvell Yukon Gigabit Ethernet NIC?
Hi,
I must thank you all who gave me suggestions on what to do. It was
indeed the sky2 module that was required. Even though I *thought* I
tried it, I guess I just didn't do it right the first time, but last
night I tried it again, loaded the module, up'd the interface and
success!!!
Once again, it was the Marvel Yukon 88E8053 PCIe Gigabit LAN Controller
on board the ASUS P5GD2-X MB using the sky2 module/driver.
Thanks again!
-Glen

the default module that comes with the 2.6.16.27 kernel as well as
patching it the the driver from the Marvell site. I've also compiled it
both into the kernel and as a module. I might give it one last try
tonight before putting in a new NIC, but it doesn't look promising.

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...
