As far as I can tell the A8N-SLI has an nvidia built in MAC, which means it uses the forcedeth driver, not the sk98lin. Some boards like the deluxe has two ports, one nvidia and one marvell, which uses both the forcedeth and sk98lin drivers. Try loading forcedeth module and see if that finds a port. It should. Asus lists the board as supporting nvidia firewall, which means it must be using the nvidia MAC after all. The brand of the PHY has no bearing on the driver what so ever.
