Package: kernel-image-2.6.8-11-em64t-p4-smp
Version: 2.6.8-16sarge1
Severity: wishlist
The builtin sk98lin driver in that kernel cannot detect properly that
gigabit card.
sk98lin: No adapter found.
Using the manufacturer driver works, however, and the card is properly
detected:
http://www.marvell.com/drivers/driverDisplay.do?dId=107&pId=10
sk98lin: Network Device Driver v8.28.1.3
(C)Copyright 1999-2005 Marvell(R).
ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:04:00.0[A] -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17
PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:04:00.0 to 64
eth1: Marvell Yukon 88E8050 Gigabit Ethernet Controller
PrefPort:A RlmtMode:Check Link State
Things are not really critical since the driver installs pretty cleanly
and works very well, but i'd be nice to avoid relying on that external
driver, especially for upgrades.

There.. I'm not sure if this actually belongs here, but it seems to me it's
something to keep in mind, and I'm pretty sure the LKML guys would hit me on
the head for complaining about this. :)

Version: 2.6.8-99+rm
You reported a bug against the Linux kernel (version 2.6.8) that was
shipped with Debian 3.1 (sarge). Since Debian 3.1 is no longer
supported and the kernel has changed so much that it would be very
difficult to verify every outstanding bug from 2.6.8, I'm hereby
closing your bug report.
If you still see this issue with the kernel from the upcoming release
of Debian (lenny, version 5.0), then please me know and I'll be happy
to reopen this bug report.
Thanks.
