I have a nice new Asus motherboard and have easily installed
FC3. However hiccup number one is that the aforementioned Ethernet card
is not recognized and I can not seem to get any hardware configurator I try to
recognize it. The hardware browser is blind to this PCI-E chip. The
adapter shows up in an lspci but that is about it. The driver is supposed
to be SK98lin but it is never auto loaded. When I modprobe it I can
detect no response or life for an ethx of any kind in
/proc/network/sk98lin. My FC3 (2.6.9-1.667) seems to have V6.23 sk98lin
driver while the Marvel website has a V8.16 version. I suspect, however
that getting a newer version driver may not do much. Can anyone give me
any easier way to get this driver going without having to do the k-compile
thing (which you might guess, is tedious without www connectivity) |
