I think this may be a PCIE issue, from what I have read. But, I have |
| 58 |
recomplied the kernel (network devices) and configured both the |
| 59 |
forcedepth and skge drivers as modules. If I unload the forcedepth or |
| 60 |
rename so it won't start durning boot, the SKGE driver WILL load and be |
| 61 |
listed in the lsmod and lspci but does nothing - no dmesg anything! Its |
| 62 |
almost like the driver sees the device but is waiting on something else |
| 63 |
to load..... There's very little information concerning this device - |
| 64 |
I'll keep digging. |
