sk98lin has been replaced with skge
Created attachment 131949 [details] paths to kernel files/modules if skge is to replace sk98lin, why doesn't it provide the network connection?
Edit /etc/modules.conf, replacing all instances of "sk98lin" with "skge". Then, reboot. Does that help?

Yes, forgive my typo. It sounds like you have things working. I'm going to call this WONTFIX since it is really an sk98lin problem, and that driver basically is unsupported upstream.
