Hi,
My motherboard is a MSI K8N Neo2 Platinium (amd64), and the board has two lan jacks, which are:
1st Lan 10/100/1000 Fast Ethernet by Marvek 88E1111
2nd Lan 10/100/1000 Fast Ethernet by Realtek 8110S
The 2ns jack works fine with the forcedeth driver, however the Marvel one i can't get to work with any driver available in the kernel.
I've 'googled' for this issue, but found nothing that could led to a solution.
My question is, has anyone gotten this Ethernet jack working with 'any' driver ?
Thanks.
realtek phy is managed by r81
realtek phy is managed by r8169 driver.
marvell 88e1111 phy is managed by forcedeth driver.
Both do not like some switches(for example dlink dgs-1008d).
OT: supported chip?
Hello,
I'm going to get a board with a onboard NIC ( Vitesse 8201) and I've already goolged around, but couldnt find anything about linux support...
Just a note: It wouldnt be tragedy, I've also some other gread working NICs for fallback, but it would be nice to know...
Thanks.
RE: OT: supported chip?
Vitesse 8201 is a physical layer chip. The physical layer talks to the MAC and the software layer talks to the MAC. The 8201 is usually used on Nvidia chipset motherboards. They have a gigabit MAC built into the chipset. You need to find drivers for that. Hope that helps....
Vitesse 8201 linux support with RealTek RTL8129/8139
Installed linux 2.6.9 on a Gigabyte K8NF with Vitessa 8201 Chip Onboard. Network was not detected during installation. I selected the RealTek RTL 8219/8139 manually and was successful.
no need to load explicit module
I was wrong. I could configure the network without any module to be loaded. It has nothing to do with the RealTek thing.
I've got a Gigabyte MB with V
I've got a Gigabyte MB with VITESSE 8201 phy and it's not being detected. Hope it can be solved with the RealTek driver.

but forcedeth is 10/100Mbps only, the "manual" says the marvell 88e1111 is 10/100/1000Mbps NIC. do you know what's going on here?
thanks,

all realtek phy ???
will r8169 driver support even rtl8201 phy???
if yes where i need to change the MAC code for adapting to 8201?
else if i write phy driver, how to do interrupt stuffs as there is no interrupt in rtl8201 (like lxt971 has interrupt enable register 0x18)
Um, pickup some Intel or 3Com
Um, pickup some Intel or 3Com network cards and be done with it. Any other network card is uncivilized. ;)
As noted, Realtek do not like some switches, like my Netgear for instance. Luckily I have Intel cards in the rest of my systems to compensate.
sk98lin driver
I don't have experience with that exact Marvell chip, but I do have experience with a similar one (it is code-named the Marvell Yukon, yours is code-named Marvell Alaska). In order to get mine to work, I had to download the newest version of the sk98lin driver (note that it is NOT in mainline 2.6 as of 2.6.10, I haven't gotten around to trying 2.6.11 or 2.6.12rc). Anyway, do a search on Google and you should find it.
thanks for replying. unfortun
thanks for replying. unfortunately marvell does not seem to release *any* drivers at all. syskonnect however does, but only for the Yukon NICs. i'll try anyway and see what it gives.
thanks!
Marvell 88E1111 and 88E8053
My motherboard is a MSI K8N Neo4 with two different GigaBitLAN chips and I can't get any of them to work with Linux.
Marvell 88E1111:
The forcedeth driver is loaded for this chip. ifconfig reports all o.k. But I cannot get any connection to my Netgear DG834B router/switch. Windows 2000 uses this network connection without any problem so I do not think the Netgear device causes the trouble.
Marvell 88E8053:
Some websites say this is a "Yukon" chip, but the sk98lin driver which is supposed to support it refuses to load.
nforce driver
For Marvell it should be possible to use nvidia nforce driver - same disadvantage as nvidia geforce driver. forcedeth has limited support for Marvell as it is revers engineered driver.
Use NVidia driver (from www.n
Use NVidia driver (from www.nvidia.com) instead of forcedeath.
I've got similar Asus mb. I use sk98lin for Marvell interface and nvnet for NForce card. forcedeath also works, but nvnet is better.
Both of them running at 1Gbps, connected by Dell PowerConnect Switch to network.
This nic requires sky2 driver
This nic requires sky2 driver and it should work with 2.6.15 kernels and later.
