Details

I have no network in 2.6.23-2 because the sk98lin module was not set in the config (both config and config.x86_64). As a result Marvell Yukon Gigabit network card module is not found while modprobing for it.
This task depends upon

are you sure it hasn't been dropped from 2.6.23? skge was supposed to replace it.

by dropped, i mean "dropped upstream"

It was removed in 2.6.23-rc1, which is the version where tpowa takes his first kernel26 package for the new kernel from. It was added back in late September, during one of the last RCs, as skge and sky2 don't support all hardware that was supported by sk98lin yet.

Looks like both dale and JGC are right. Things work fine now after I removed 'sk98lin' from my modules array in rc.conf. I think its presence there was preventing skge from loading cleanly. However, I was able to compile sk98lin as a module too without issues, butam not using it because skge seems to be doing the job for me. I'm not sure if other users still need the sk98lin module for their hardware, looks like I don't.
