Re: Help: DGE-560T not recognized by Linux

I have just built a new system, based on an Asrock 939Dual-Sata
motherboard. It only has 100MB built-in networking (uli526x), so I
purchased a D-Link DGE-560T PCI-e gigabit NIC ($81 at Newegg) thinking
it was supported by Linux. Looking at the card, it appears to be a
Marvell chip, but neither the sk98lin or skge drivers worked. I tried
other GBe drivers as well, they didn't recognize it either.

Is there a place where I can just add this card's ID and use one of the
sk* drivers? I paged through the source but didn't see an obvious place
to add a card ID, but it must be in there somewhere.

I'm not subscribed to linux-kernel, please CC: me on replies, thanks.

Here's the info from the card:
big M on the chip (Marvell I assume)
88E8052-NNC
GMAA17011A1
0442 A2P

and on the back of the card:

00005A708649 0592
DLink
531CL00467 DGE-560T 70-13-001-001

from lspci:

02:00.0 0200: 1186:4b00 (rev 11)
Subsystem: 1186:4b00

See drivers/net/sk98lin/skge.c:skge_pci_tbl[]:

/* DLink card does not have valid VPD so this driver gags
* { PCI_VENDOR_ID_DLINK, 0x4c00, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, 0 },
*/

That's your card, except yours is 0x4b00.

You can try it, but it might gag...

Also see drivers/net/skge.c:skge_id_table[]:

{ PCI_DEVICE(PCI_VENDOR_ID_DLINK, PCI_DEVICE_ID_DLINK_DGE510T), },

That's the same device as in sk98lin/skge.c. Try adding a line

{ PCI_DEVICE(PCI_VENDOR_ID_DLINK, 0x4b00), },
