I've heard somewhere (may be here in our maillist, but I didn't find nothing in mail archive) about some problems w/Marvell Gigabit Ethernet chip on ASUS A8V mobos at work w/SuSE Linux 9.x. Sorry, is it simple my "imagination" ? It may be important for mobos choice, because Marvell chips are presenetd in a lot of mobos, in particlular in a set of Gigabyte mobos for Athlon64.

I'm running this board with Marvell chip and SuSE-9.3, for about 2 month now. So far I have seen no problems. -Dieter -- Dieter Klünter | Systemberatung http://www.dkluenter.de GPG Key ID:01443B53

0000:01:04.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8001 Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 13) using the sk98lin driver, SuSE 9.3, Asus A7N8X-E. No problems with SuSE distro kernel right up to latest 2.6.12-rc6-git8. I'd expect it to work fine on any motherboard. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...

I haven't seen any problems with the Marvell GigE chip for 1.5 years, using all SuSE distributions along. -- Bernd Paysan "If you want it done right, you have to do it yourself" http://www.jwdt.com/~paysan/

There was a confirmed bug in the SUSE 9.2 kernels. See the January thread. If you didn't have any problems, you were lucky. I had. BTW has this problem been solved in the latest 9.2 update kernels? Andi? OTOH one could just use a 9.3 kernel... -- Immortality -- a fate worse than death. -- Edgar A. Shoaff

No actually there was a hardware bug on some motherboards by a particular big Taiwanese vendor starting with A (they had incorrect NIC eeprom checksums) We later added a workaround for that to ignore the wrong checksum. But the Linux code was correct.
See the January thread. If you didn't have any problems, you were lucky. I had.
You should have complained to your motherboard vendor.

Yes, the patch made it into the update kernel. -Andi
