Eric,
IIRC, the SysKonnect official GPL driver attempts to support two different
chipsets / possibly has other coding issues as well. I think this is the
reason SysKonnect's driver is still out of tree. I think some netdev folks
might be working on newer drivers, but I haven't been keeping track honestly.
Yes, look at the skge driver in 2.6.15 and the upcoming sky2 in 2.6.16.
I think you'll find those drivers much better than sk98lin and support most if
not all of the cards that the sk98lin driver works with. Certainly those two
replacement drivers are better maintained.
My understanding is that is that sk98lin is in the process of being deprecated.
