===========================================================================
To integrate the driver permanently into the kernel, proceed as follows:
1. Select the menu "Network device support" and then "Ethernet(1000Mbit)"
-2. Mark "Marvell Yukon/SysKonnect SK-98xx/SK-95xx Gigabit Ethernet Adapter
- support" with (*)
+2. Mark "Marvell Yukon Chipset / SysKonnect SK-98xx family support"
+ with (*)
3. Build a new kernel when the configuration of the above options is
finished.
4. Install the new kernel.
1. Enable 'loadable module support' in the kernel.
2. For automatic driver start, enable the 'Kernel module loader'.
3. Select the menu "Network device support" and then "Ethernet(1000Mbit)"
-4. Mark "Marvell Yukon/SysKonnect SK-98xx/SK-95xx Gigabit Ethernet Adapter
- support" with (M)
+4. Mark "Marvell Yukon Chipset / SysKonnect SK-98xx family support"
+ with (M)
5. Execute the command "make modules".
6. Execute the command "make modules_install".
The appropiate modules will be installed.
to FULL, and on the second adapter to HALF.
Then, you must enter:
- modprobe sk98lin AutoNeg=On,Off DupCap=Full,Half
+ modprobe sk98lin AutoNeg_A=On,Off DupCap_A=Full,Half
NOTE: The number of adapters that can be configured this way is
limited in the driver (file skge.c, constant SK_MAX_CARD_PARAM).
port reports during auto-negotiation. It can be set for each port
individually.
Possible modes:
- -- Sym = Symetric: both link partners are allowed to send
+ -- Sym = Symmetric: both link partners are allowed to send
PAUSE frames
- -- SymOrRem = SymetricOrRemote: both or only remote partner
+ -- SymOrRem = SymmetricOrRemote: both or only remote partner
are allowed to send PAUSE frames
-- LocSend = LocalSend: only local link partner is allowed
to send PAUSE frames
