Marvell 88E8053 isn't recognized

[Christoffer Karvonen]

I have an Asus a8v-e Deluxe motherboard, which comes with an integrated gigabit
ethernet controller; the Marvell 88E8053. The driver for this is included in the
official ubuntu linux-image-2.6.12-9-amd64-k8, but it doesnt work. The driver is
called skge, or sk98lin (the later one being an older driver and the skge one
being a driver which should support the whole marvell gigabit ethernet
controller family.) I had to compile an external module into the kernel in order
to get it working. The driver I found here :
http://www.syskonnect.com/syskonnect/support/driver/zip/linux/install-8_23.tar.bz2
'The sk98lin driver installation script supports the SysKonnect SK-9Exx and
SK-9Sxx adapters on Linux 2.6.x, 2.4.13 and above.'

I hope this will be solved in the near future..

sk98lin will be in the next upload.

Does Ubuntu 5.04 drive the NIC correctly?

Fixed in 2.6.12-9.18
