You need the sky2 module. The Etch (2.6.18) module should work well enough to get a newer kernel and compile it. To get 2.6.18 in Etch, you will need a newer install disk. Yesterday's daily build definitely has sky2. You will need to obtain a 2.6.21-rc1 kernel or better (or at least a newish kernel + sky2.c and sky2.h version 1.13) because there are some serious bugs in earlier versons. Use make-kpkg (in package kernel-package) to build your kernel and you'll stay inside the Debian package management system. -- Rob Nothing is finished until the paperwork is done. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Hi, by 'second vt' he means the second virtual terminal, switch to it by pressing Alt-F2. Jirka Novosad -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

You may have to manually insert the correct module if the install system fails to pick it up. 'modprobe ' at a second vt.

Ethernet card Marvell
Hello, I have a Marvell Ethernet card (on motherboard) model 88E8053. It is not recognized by Etch (however the CD I tried to install from is rather old +- 1 year). (note: under Fedora 6 it is recognized and works fine with driver sky2) What is the current situation / support about Marvell 88E8053 under Etch ? As my Etch CD is rather old do I need to burn a new one ? If so where can I check which hardware is supported in .iso Etch to avoid unecessary download ? Do I need to make some 'home-computing' like download driver and/or source (via a supported Ethernet card) card to build my own module..etc.. ? Thanks for any clue and information.
