This nic is on the mobo. sk98lin from kernel 2.6.9 works great. However:
If I go into Fedora Core's Network Device Control applet, it shows eth0 inactive. If I try to activate it I get:
skge device eth0:1 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization.
The applet is good, but when there are problems will need to diagnose with more direct commands.

Jeff Garzik suggested that I send this to you.
Under Network Configuration tool trying to probe under "Bind to MAC address gives the result as [Errno 19] No such device.
So while the driver clearly loads, it can't find the device nor activate it.
The questions are:
* does 'skge' get loaded?
# lsmod
* what is system log show related to skge
# dmesg | grep skge

What should I do to remedy this. I can bring up the device under kernel 2.6.9, but no kernel beyond this 2.6.10 or 2.6.11-xx works.
Does it work with 'sk98lin' driver?
# rmmod skge # modprobe sk98lin

Most likely this is a Marvell Yukon 2 chipset, which requires different driver support. I infer this because it is the PCI-express version. The only driver that handles Yukon2 on Linux is the version from Syskonnect's web site, but don't think it still works with 2.6.10
