Description of problem: I have an Athlon64x2 on MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum which has two onboard ethernet devices (Marvell 88E1111 & 88E8053). The FC4-x84_64 could not detect the eths, so I downloaded the latest version of drivers from syskonnect.com (version b8.31.2.3, 18.01.2006) and followed its instructions. All the installation process was successfull, but at next restart, when I tried to call "modprobe sk98lin" I recieved this message: sk98lin: no version for "struct_module" found: kernel tainted. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Linux 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4smp How reproducible: Everytime Steps to Reproduce: 1. Try to install the driver 2. Try to modprobe it Actual results: Just an error in STDOUT, no data in /var/log/messages Expected results: It should find and install eth0 and eth1 at /proc/net/sk98lin/ etc. Additional info: I did also try elder versions of the driver, some of them failed on compile time, and the others didn't work as expected.
I tried netdev package, and it got worked.
[This comment added as part of a mass-update to all open FC4 kernel bugs] FC4 has now transitioned to the Fedora legacy project, which will continue to release security related updates for the kernel. As this bug is not security related, it is unlikely to be fixed in an update for FC4, and has been migrated to FC5. Please retest with Fedora Core 5. Thank you.
A new kernel update has been released (Version: 2.6.18-1.2200.fc5) based upon a new upstream kernel release. Please retest against this new kernel, as a large number of patches go into each upstream release, possibly including changes that may address this problem. This bug has been placed in NEEDINFO state. Due to the large volume of inactive bugs in bugzilla, if this bug is still in this state in two weeks time, it will be closed. Should this bug still be relevant after this period, the reporter can reopen the bug at any time. Any other users on the Cc: list of this bug can request that the bug be reopened by adding a comment to the bug. In the last few updates, some users upgrading from FC4->FC5 have reported that installing a kernel update has left their systems unbootable. If you have been affected by this problem please check you only have one version of device-mapper & lvm2 installed. See bug 207474 for further details. If this bug is a problem preventing you from installing the release this version is filed against, please see bug 169613. If this bug has been fixed, but you are now experiencing a different problem, please file a separate bug for the new problem. Thank you.
Those NICs should be perfectly functional with the sky2 driver now. sk98lin is dead and gone from the kernel. Please open a new bug if they are still non-functional with the sky2 driver.
