Help install Marvell 88E1111 network card

VampireL0rd · 03-24-2006, 07:57 PM

I have configured everything in my kernel conf 2.6.16. The only thing that isn't working correctly is my network card. When I startup I don't have internet so I guess I don't have it configured correctly in the kernel or need something else.I don't know what to enable besides marvell Yudon chipset. I read around and keep seeing this forcedeth driver. All I thought I had to do was choose the correct option for the kernel, but I guess there is more to it than that.

You need to install the right driver.

Go to http://www.skd.de/e_en/download_best...l-8_31.tar.bz2
Accept license agreement and download the driver file.

Extract the driver source code with:

Code:

tar xjf install-8_31.tar.bz2

Install driver as follows:

Code:

cd install-8_31
./configure
make
make install

Load driver as follows:

Code:

modprobe sk98lin

Check for ethernet adapter as follows:

Code:

ifconfig -a

If you can see it, then add "modprobe sk98lin" to your appropriate modules file.
