I have a hard time installing Gentoo 2006.0 using either the minimal |
| 2 |
installation image or the LiveCD. The machine has a Asus A8V Deluxe |
| 3 |
mainboard with onboard networking. Windows identifies the network |
| 4 |
controller as "Marvell Yukon 88E8001/8003/8010 PCI Gigabit Ethernet", |
| 5 |
and Gentoo's lspci confirms this. However, I can't get the network card |
| 6 |
up and running with Gentoo (it works fine with i.e. OpenSUSE 10). |

Searching this mailing list turned up hints to use "modprobe sk98lin", |
| 9 |
"modprobe skge" and "modprobe sky2" after booting. I tried all three |
| 10 |
variants, and lsmod lists the respective modules. After using "net-setup |
| 11 |
et0", ifconfig shows "Link encap:UNSPEC" and a weird hardware address. |
| 12 |
Ping fails for all addresses except the machine's own, and "RX bytes" |
| 13 |
for eht0 always remains zero. |

Any ideas? I'm pretty much stuck now and I'd appreciate your help. |
