Hello,

I posted a somewhat vague question earlier, so here are teh details.

I just purchased a new pc pentium IV 3.0ghz and it came with a 10/100/1000 
NIC onboard the motherboard.
I installed fc3 kernel 2.6.10-1.741_FC3 on it.

Fedora is not recognizing the NIC at all.
I did lspci and got the following informatin:
03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd.: Unknown device 
4361 (rev 17)

I googled for Marvell technology group and discovered that I should be using 
teh sk98lin driver, so I added teh following to my /etc/modprobe.conf file:

alias eth0 sk98lin

I then did a rmmod eth0
rmmod sk98lin
modprobe eth0

I got no response to any of these commands.
Next I tried:
ifconfig eth0
and got:
eth0: error fetching interface information: device not found

I also did a modinfo on sk98lin and got:
filename:       
/lib/modules/2.6.10-1.741_FC3spksmp/kernel/drivers/net/sk98lin/sk98lin.ko
author:         Mirko Lindner <mlindner at syskonnect.de>
description:    SysKonnect SK-NET Gigabit Ethernet SK-98xx driver
license:        GPL
vermagic:       2.6.10-1.741_FC3spksmp SMP 686 REGPARM 4KSTACKS gcc-3.4
depends:
srcversion:     511B14479B0351A2F2C3D8C

I did go to syskonnect.com and download their latest sk98lin driver and 
tried to install it, but it generates an error while trying to compile:

/tmp/Sk98IIMnMPGPmRfmACgkTUacZ/all/sky2.c:1519: warning: implicit 
declaration of function `pci_dma_sync_single'

I'm now stumped.
Any suggestions gratefully accepted.
