Alex, that did help.  That led me to the http://www.syskonnect.com web
site where they had an updated driver for the Marvell Yukcon gigabit
interface.  Pulled that down and found that it needed the kernel source
package.

I thought I could get by with just the header files but it seemed like
it really did need the kernal sources.  I pulled those down and loaded
per the release notes.

Had to link the directory to /usr/src/linux and then the install script
ran.  This did install the driver and I was able to configure it and get
it working.

So thanks for the assistance.  :)

Now I am going to get the updates completed and then start working on
the other problems, on board wireless and getting the second SATA
controller to work.

Just give Alice some pencils and she will stay busy for hours.
