I am using "centos 5" and it seems the "udev" cam in with e16 ... So can't
go that way..
Something else to bother me is that lspci reports the ethernet device
correctly. "Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8001" but the "ifcfg-eth0"
# head -3 /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
# D-Link System Inc DGE-528T Gigabit Ethernet Adapter
DEVICE=eth0
ONBOOT=yes
# ethtool -i eth0
driver: skge
version: 1.6
So it seems it is using the correct driver for "88E8001"
