I am using onboard LAN on my ASUS A7N8X-E motherboard and there are two onboard ethernet ports on this:
For the internet connection eth1 (Marvell Yukon Gigabit Ethernet) is used and the driver is sk98lin.
For the Local network connection the other port is used (Realtek RTL). The chipset is nForce.
Now the question is the LAN doesn't seem to be working. I cannot ping the LAN address of the machine I've connection.
Here is the output of lspci:

Can anybody tell me whether the correct ethernet module has been loaded for the LAN ethernet device (Realtek)?
I use firestarter firewall, but I don't think the firewall is the problem because even when it is disabled I am unable to ping the LAN machine.
The problem is the network configuration tool doesn't tell me which device eth2 refers to. eth1 refers to the Marvell Yukon Gigabit ethernet port.
