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.
