From: Fred Kastl on 6 Apr 2006 14:56 Hi, I'm using a Aopen i915a-HFS Motherboard with a Marvell Gigabit Ethernet card. I already tried the sk98lin driver but it doesn't work. Did anyone successfully used this Card or know the driver for it ? regards Fred lspci: 0000:02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd.: Unknown device 4362 (rev 19)

It's a Yukon II chip supported by the sky2 driver, which first appeared (officially) in the 2.6.16 kernel. Robert

Check out http://ta.twi.tudelft.nl/DV/Staff/Lemmens/linux_p5gd1.htm for an account of one user's trials and tribulations, then go to http://www.syskonnect.com/syskonnect/support/driver/zip/linux/ to find a better driver. You really need the latest and greatest to make this hardware work. Even then, dmesg returns hundreds of eth0: SkYuk2RestartRxBmu failed. messages on my box, and the associated process (Pan downloading a list of messages in a newsgroup) hangs for 60 seconds before retrying. If anyone has any hints, let me know. (Or maybe I should see whether an even newer driver has been uploaded...) -- /~\ cgibbs(a)kltpzyxm.invalid (Charlie Gibbs) \ / I'm really at ac.dekanfrus if you read it the right way.

Is it a card or built-in to the motherboard. > Did anyone successfully used this Card or know the driver for it ? The Kubuntu 5.10 installer recognized it and I've had zero problems with it. The Debian 3.1 installer didn't recognize the device and I didn't spend any time trying to make it work. > 0000:02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd.: Unknown > device 4362 (rev 19) That's exactly what mine says. I have the Asus A8V-E SE with the Marvell controller on-board. |
