Well, I did test it, but skge didn't even find the hardware :-( No device was created, no dmesg output on load. Instead I am running 2.6.13.1 with sk98lin-8.23.1.3.patch The MB is ASUS P5GDC-V-Deluxe and the the on-board NIC:
# lspci -v -s 02:00.0 0000:02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8053 Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 15) Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Marvell 88E8053 Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Asus) Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 17 Memory at cfffc000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] I/O ports at d800 [size=256] Expansion ROM at cffc0000 [disabled] [size=128K] Capabilities: [48] Power Management version 2 Capabilities: [50] Vital Product Data Capabilities: [5c] Message Signalled Interrupts: 64bit+ Queue=0/1 Enable- Capabilities: [e0] #10 [0011]
I am not sure it is supposed to be used with the skge driver, but I thought it will work... Some ASUS boards apparently have problems with the VPD being broken, but I am not sure how to check that.
