sk98lin driver misses some PCI id's supported by removed sky2

[Prinz Igor]

hello,

i just want to notice that my wired network card does not work since i have updated my kernel from 2.6.17-6-686 to 2.6.17-7-generic.

lspci:

04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8055 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 10)

regards,

prinz igor

Please attach output of "lsmod".

[Prinz Igor (pigor)]

here it is.

[Ben Collins (ben-collins)]

Can you try doing "sudo modprobe sk98lin"?

[Prinz Igor (pigor)]

i have tried "sudo modprobe sk98lin" but it has no effect - or i just cannot see any.

in lsmod there appears this entry:

sk98lin 194228 0

the network card is not detected.

[Prinz Igor (pigor)]

i have tested the old kernel.

i have recognized that my network card seems to work with sky2 (see attachments).

this driver is not present in my new configuration.

[Ben Collins (ben-collins)]

Ok, can you attach the output of these two commands then:

lspci -vv
lspci -vvn

Thanks

[Ben Collins (ben-collins)]

Run this as root:

modprobe sk98lin
echo 11ad:4363 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/sk98lin/new_id

That should force recognition of the device. The device ID will be added in the next upload.

[Ben Collins (ben-collins)]

Well, it seems that the sky2 driver had support for 2 devices that the sk98lin driver doesn't support, and can't without extra patching.

I'm uploading a new kernel for dapper tomorrow that re-enables sky2 just for these devices.

[Prinz Igor (pigor)]

Do you still need the output of "lspci -vv" and "lspci -vvn"? Should I still test "modprobe ... echo ..."?

Thank you for uploading a new Kernel. But can you please upload a new one for Edgy, too? Or tell the responsible guy to do so, please?

Bonjour

Comme mon anglais est approximatif, je me permets d'écrire mon message en français:

Avant la mise à jour du noyau, mes connexions internet marchaient très bien avec networkmanager mais depuis la mise à jour d'hier, seule la connexion wifi marche

hi
sorry,

my kernel is not 2.6.17.7 but it's a 2.6.15-26-386

[Ben Collins (ben-collins)]

It will be fixed in dapper and edgy before the weekend is up.

[Prinz Igor (pigor)]

@Ben: Thank you very much!!!

[Prinz Igor (pigor)]

Just wanna report: It works again!
