Hi, I'm trying to install FC4 devel on a system with an ASUS P5GD2
motherboard. It has an on-board gig LAN card which they state is the:
"Marvell 88E8053 PCI Express Gigabit LAN controller" which goes undetected
in the install.
From what I gather here:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2005-February/msg03974.html
This is a SysKonnect chipset and should be using the sk98lin driver. After
loading that driver in anaconda, the card is still not detected. Is there a
chance of getting this chipset supported in FC4?
Thanks,

Actually no. You see SysKonnect has been very poor about updating their
driver to
work. You will always have to compile the patch into the kernel before
it will work.
Currently the last Fedora Core kernel that will work is
2.6.11-1.1185_FC4. I have
reported back to SysKonnect on the post 2.6.11-1.1185 issues and they
are working
on yet another compatible patch.
