It is a new smaller driver driver with better performance and more complete ethtool support. It does not support the link failover and network management features that "portable" vendor supplied sk98lin driver does.* " What makes my PCI Express mobo with on board 04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 17) *not *supported by skge driver is that it is a NEW generation driver Marvell Yukon 2. I have SysKonnect's sk98lin driver working for me under a custom built 2.6.9 kernel using SysKonnect's driver version 7.09 patched in the kernel. The motherboard I'm using is a new Intel D915GEV. The specs on the lan show as: Gigabit (10/100/1000 Mbits/sec) LAN subsystem using the Marvel* Yukon* 88E8050 PCI Express* Gigabit Ethernet Controller. Don't try this Stephen's skge driver with this, it isn't supported. RaXeT
