The reason I'm writing is that lspci doesn't see it, but the driver loads and it works as a gigabit NIC. I have it working fine with the 2.6.12-rc1 and rc2 kernels, no tweaks or patches required. On installation, I ran into the problem that the D-I 2.6.8 forcedeth driver loaded, didn't work, and then blocked the operation of the sk98lin needed for the Yukon. I had to rename the forcedeth.ko module in /lib/modules to prevent it from loading and was then able to use the Yukon to upgrade the kernel and make the nVidia NIC work too. In brief, it's invisible, but don't let that fool you. And BTW, I seriously doubt you're really running your Marvell Yukon with a forcedeth driver.
