Bug 83230 – SK98Lin driver with Motherboard GA-K8NS-939 not properly work

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Fyodor Ustinov 2005-02-24 13:46:28 UTC]

Motherboard GA-K8NS-939 with integrated network adapter.

Info from /proc/pci :
  Bus  2, device  11, function  0:
    Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. Yukon Gigabit Ethernet 10/100/1000Base-T Adapter (rev 19).
      IRQ 10.
      Master Capable.  Latency=64.  Min Gnt=23.Max Lat=31.
      Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xf3000000 [0xf3003fff].
      I/O at 0xa400 [0xa4ff].

sk98 driver properly detect controller:
home proc # ifconfig eth1
eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:0F:EA:78:41:28
          inet addr:192.168.3.3  Bcast:192.168.3.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::20f:eaff:fe78:4128/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

          RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
          Interrupt:10 Memory:f3000000-0

Now, ping outside:
home proc # ping 192.168.3.1
PING 192.168.3.1 (192.168.3.1) 56(84) bytes of data.

--- 192.168.3.1 ping statistics ---
8 packets transmitted, 0 received, +6 errors, 100% packet loss, time 6999ms
, pipe 3

Now look to ifconfig again:

home proc # ifconfig eth1
eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:0F:EA:78:41:28
          inet addr:192.168.3.3  Bcast:192.168.3.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::20f:eaff:fe78:4128/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
          Interrupt:10 Memory:f3000000-0

No one packet is really going outside (tx=0, tx bytes = 0).

[Comment 1 Daniel Drake (RETIRED) 2005-02-24 15:03:58 UTC]

Is this a gigabit adapter?

[Comment 2 Fyodor Ustinov 2005-02-24 22:41:01 UTC]

Yes.

[Comment 3 Fyodor Ustinov 2005-02-27 12:02:12 UTC]

BTW, I'm check 32 bit version of the kernel from 2004.3 Live CD. Also not work.

[Comment 4 Fyodor Ustinov 2005-03-04 08:45:39 UTC]

Hmm, people, i'm afraid of this silence. May be i can help?

[Comment 5 Stefan Schweizer (RETIRED) 2005-03-04 08:50:38 UTC]

Does it work in 2.6.11?
Does it work on other livecds like knoppix/kanotix/gnoppix?

[Comment 6 Daniel Drake (RETIRED) 2005-03-04 09:05:15 UTC]

Sorry, was waiting for 2.6.11 to appear. Then I realised that 2.6.11 didn't solve the issue out of the box. Anyway, I added gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.11-r1 to portage yesterday, which contains the new skge driver. Please use that instead of sk98lin. I'm 99% sure this should make it work. Let us know how you get on.

[Comment 7 Fyodor Ustinov 2005-03-04 10:39:07 UTC]

gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.11-r1 & skge solve my problem. Thanks a lot!
