ICS1883 LAN PHY not detected

ICS1883 LAN PHY not detected

[David Liontooth]

Gigabyte's K8NS Ultra-939 mobo has a 100/10 LAN PHY chip, ICS1883, which
isn't detected by the 2.6.12-rc1 kernel (and likely not previous kernels).

http://www.giga-byte.com/MotherBoard/Products/Products_Spec_GA-K8NS%20Ultra-939.htm

On the other hand, the ports light up when connected.

The device may be similar to ICS1893, which is supported by the sis900 
driver.
However, I figure the device first has to be detected?

Any advice appreciated. 

Dave

You want the sk98lin or skge drivers.

Correct -- that one worked already in Debian-Installer. What was 
confusing is that the Gigabyte K8NS Ultra-939 board has a second 
gigabyte NIC, identified in the motherboard manual as a 100/10 ICS1883 
LAN PHY, that is in fact an nforce gigabyte controller, part of the 
nforce3 250 chipset (cf. 
http://cogweb.net/owens/Images/Gigabyte-K8NS-Ultra-939.jpg line 5). For 
some reason the PCI ID 00E6 doesn't show up in lspci, so I thought it 
was not detected by the kernel. However, the forcedeth driver brought it 
to life.
