Description of problem:
I've recently purchased a D-Link DGE-530T Gigabit Copper Ethernet
adapter. The card is based on the newer Marvell Yukon chip:
http://www.marvell.com/products/pcconn/yukon/88E8003.jsp

It used the sk98lin driver:
When I modprobe sk98lin I get this"

eth0: DGE-530T Gigabit Ethernet Adapter
      PrefPort:A  RlmtMode:Check Link State
Then I can ifconfig eth0, and everything works fine...

MY PROBLEM: kudzu won't autodetect the card.

lspci -vv for the DGE-530T:

------------------------------------------------------------------------

I also noticed that the driver is quite outdated, a newer 7.09 is
available here:
http://www.syskonnect.com/syskonnect/support/driver/htm/sk9e21_lin.htm
It has some nice new features like NAPI.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel 2.6.9-1.675 SMP

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install the card.
2. Boot the machine
    

Actual Results:  The card isn't autodetected.

Expected Results:  The card should be autodetected by kudzu.

Added in CVS. 

Comment 4 Bill Nottingham 2005-03-01 17:57:22 UTC
In 0.146.2.EL-1.

Comment 5 Pascal de Bruijn 2005-03-07 19:02:39 UTC
I'm running 2.6.9-5.0.3.EL now, the card still isn't detected.

Also any chance, of seeing the sk98lin card officially supported? with
newer driver versions?

If you need any more information please lett me know...

Comment 6 Bill Nottingham 2005-03-07 19:44:30 UTC
If you manually load the driver does it work? The fix is in
hwdata-0.146.2.EL-1 to manually set a mapping for it, since the driver
doesn't export tables of what cards it supports.

Comment 7 Pascal de Bruijn 2005-03-07 21:00:41 UTC
When I manually load it, it works...

Also, If I'm not mistaken, a while back, I patched my kernel with the
newer sk98lin driver, and I think kudzu detected it back then...

Anyway, like I said before, I can really recommend the newer driver...

Thanks for the assistance,
Pascal de Bruijn
