Marvell 88E8001 Controller not working in Kernel 2.6.17


Hey all,

After upgrading to kernel 2.6.17-1.2142 my onboard nic will not work.

I am aware that the sk98lin driver used in my previous kernel 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 is depreciated. The latest kernel 2.16.17-1.2142_FC4 offers the replacement driver module of skge.

The onboard nic has worked with the kernel 2.6.17-1.2142 and the skge module in the past.

It failed in this most recent reinstall of FC4.

The nic works if I boot to the previous kernel. It uses a DNS of 192.168.1.254 to connect. This is different than that of the "service network restart" (below).

It appears that the nic is assigned an ip address, yet can't connect to the internet. This suggests to my noobie sensibilities that the nic is working, but something is wrong with the connection scripts.

Quote:
# service network restart
Shutting down loopback interface: [ OK ]
Bringing up loopback interface: [ OK ]
Bringing up interface eth0:
Determining IP information for eth0...PING 192.168.1.254 (192.168.1.254) from 192.168.1.97 eth0: 56(84) bytes of data.

failed.
The following may be helpful:

Quote:
# lsmod | grep skge
skge 38353 0

# cat /etc/modprobe.conf
alias eth0 skge
alias eth0 sk98lin
...

# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
HWADDR=00:134:78:12:2F
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
Thanks
