Hello,

I have a Marvell Ethernet card (on motherboard) model 88E8053.
It is not recognized by Etch (however the CD I tried to install from
is rather old +- 1 year).
(note: under Fedora 6 it is recognized and works fine with driver
sky2)

What is the current situation / support about Marvell 88E8053 under
Etch ?
As my Etch CD is rather old do I need to burn a new one ?
If so where can I check which hardware is supported in .iso Etch to
avoid unecessary download ?
Do I need to make some 'home-computing' like download driver and/or
source (via a supported Ethernet card) card to build my own
module..etc.. ?

Thanks for any clue and information.

Bye,
Bruno

since it is a kernel module, if it is present in a kernel version in
one distro it is present in another, i.e. , Debian. You may have to
manually insert the correct module if the install system fails to pick
it up. 'modprobe <module name>' at a second vt.

Use a daily-build net-install disk to get an uptodate install disk.
