does the sgke driver work better ?


Comment 2 John W. Linville 2005-12-07 14:51:46 UTC
I'm guess it won't...you probably need the sky2 driver.  It is available in 
the Fedora-netdev kernels:

Please give those a try and post the results here...thanks! 

Comment 3 James C. Bevier 2005-12-07 17:46:29 UTC
I have tried the skge (not sgke) driver and it seemd to work fine with the 
1644 kernel.  I have not tried the kernel from fedora-netdev because this 
system is a production system.  I may try it at some later date if I get a 
chance.

Ah, well...ignore comment 2... :-) 
 
Sounds like things are working for you now.
