The device is not supported in RHEL, and (i.e. because) it is not supported upstream. If/when Marvell/SysKonnect gets its driver supported upstream, we will most likely take it into RHEL. However, you may be in luck. I maintain a driver disk development kit, located here: http://people.redhat.com/linville/ddiskit/ An update version of the sk98lin driver (which supports the device you are using) is included as an example. Using the kit, you should be able to construct a Driver Update Disk. The DUD can then be used to re-install RHEL using "linux dd" as the installation command. Good luck! Feel free to contact me directly for issues w/ ddiskit. However, please be aware that the driver itself is explicitly unsupported.
