No drivers for the intel marvell yukon NIC for FC3...

[Alan :)]

To all fedora gurus out there:

SPECS:
===================================================
OS.................................... Fedora 3
System................................ Gateway 2k
Motherboard........................... Intel (Luxemburg) 915G Motherboard R0
NIC (Integrated in the motherboard)... Marvell Yukon Ethernet

THE PROBLEM:
===================================================
There appears that there's no support for this NIC from the FC3 distribution set. There are drivers at http://downloadfinder.intel.com/ for redhat only.

Does anybody have a solution for this problem?
Can anybody point me in the right direction?
Thanks.

Try the sk98lin driver.  Works for Marvell and Syskonnect.

Yup just install fedora core 3, the driver is already there, the 
installer should detect and configure it all appropriately.

Otherwise a "modprobe sk98lin" will make the device available.

Hi.
I have the same problem.
NIC isn't detected and "modprobe sk98lin" doesn't have ny effect.
I tried to configure via "system-config-network" leaving all hardware 
parameter as default (IRQ unknown and the others one empty). Activating 
the device the following error
occurs "sk98lin device eth1 does not seem to be present, delaying 
initialization."

Can anybody help me.

I don't have the same board, but I have the same NIC, and the sk98lin
drivers worked for me as well. I did my installation as a new machine,
and it detected it just fine. I didn't have to do anything special. If
you turned on the NIC or added it somehow after the OS was built, then
the modules may not be loaded, and you would have to use modprobe
instead.
