sk98lin has been replaced with skge

if skge is to replace sk98lin, why doesn't it provide the network connection?

Comment 3 John W. Linville 2006-07-05 17:50:53 UTC
Edit /etc/modules.conf, replacing all instances of "sk98lin" with "skge".  
Then, reboot.  Does that help?

The file I edited on my FC4 system is /etc/modprobe.conf.  That worked.
Thanks and sorry I didn't pick up on this in comment#1.

Comment 5 John W. Linville 2006-07-05 18:18:12 UTC
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.
