Howdy, I'm compiling a kernel for the new Core Duo 2 workstations my lab will be getting. They will use GA-965P-S3 motherboards, and while I'm completely aware of the JMicron PATA controller situation, things are less clear with the gigabit ethernet controller. Is there support in the kernel for this? If not, is it on the list for a future release?
Similarly, what kernel optimization set should I use (I'm assuming either Pentium M or IV) or will 2.6.18 have a Core option?
Thanks in advance and apologies for being such a noob.

you should look at the kernel sources, especially with

that usually lists the supported hardware for each module
you will sure get the answeer there

I did this for the latest 2.6
I did this for the latest 2.6.17 set, but did not see anything clearly labled under gigabit ethernet devices. Since the driver names do not always match the cards supported, help files don't list all the cards the driver supports, and online documentation is sketchy at best, I thought I might get a better answer here. Since I don't have the boards yet, I can't just enable all drivers and see if the kernel can find it.
If I missed it in menuconfig, I apologize, but I didn't see anything currently supported in the stable release.
EDIT: Some more searching found that the sk98lin driver is supposed to support this chip, but the references online were only to Nforce motherboards, nothing concerning Core Duo 2. This makes me think that even if it isn't supported its a case of adding PCI ids to a current driver.

As you can see the Marvell ethernet is not recognized and to use the machine (I am currently typing this on the machine) I put in a 3com PCI. I compiled all of the Marvell gigabit ethernet drivers as modules and tried manually loading them (including the one that can detect it with NForce chipsets, the sk98lin). Nothing seemed to detect anything. I'm going to try again with all gigabit modules in case its something funky with the ICH8 but I'm wondering if anyone knows how to get the Marvell working since I'm basically poking blindly here.
Hi Tillin9, I got the Gig
Hi Tillin9,
I got the Gigabyte 965G board, I had upgraded to 2.6.18+mm3 patch, but when I try lspci, all of the intel bridge show unknown(my marvell giga lan and jmicron controll can detect though), can you tell me which patch did you apply ? btw I am using x86_64, it should make no difference I guess.
I didn't apply any patches to
I didn't apply any patches to get this support. Vanilla 2.6.18 should support the 965G out of the box. Make sure you really are running 2.6.18 and that the mm patch isn't breaking anything.
Also, I'm running in 32-bit mode. Currently 64-bit mode offers little benefit in performance on Core Duo 2 setups under Linux (see the benchmark on LinuxHardware) and causes me much trouble as lots of packages simply don't exist or work (if I compile myself) in Debian. If you are sure you're using 2.6.18 and a vanilla 64-bit compile doesn't give you the IDs, I would suggest trying 32-bit if this is necessary for you.
Note, not being able to ID everything with lspci doesn't mean it necessarily doesn't work. Just to clearify using the stock Debian kernel for Etch (testing 2.6.16) I can boot and everything works on my board except IDE, and ethernet. This is because Intel is generally very good about standards compliance on their chips and the generic USB, PCI, etc. drivers will work.
When I do gconfig, I can only
When I do gconfig, I can only see Intel 830M/845G/852GM/865G/915G/945G but NO 965P/965G support under Graphic support > Support for frame buffer device. All I can find the thing relate to ICH8 is under IC2 > IC2 Hardware Bus support > Intel 82801 (ICH) and Serial ATA > intel PIIX/ICH SATA support and I have already enabled them. What else should I enable then ?
And I have checked the intel-agp.c file under /driver/char/ and it did support 965....
Okay, I found the kernel patc
Okay, I found the kernel patches on Marvell's web site. However, even though it says 2.4.13 and up (including 2.6 kernels) and makes the patch correctly, I can't get the driver to compile. I thought I'd try to edit it (since there are relatively few errors) but the thing is thousands of lines long. This is way beyond my abilities. Seriously, why is it that this GPL licensed vendor driver is not worked into the mainline kernel? I'm relatively sure a kernel dev. could do it somewhat easily.
That driver is not for 2.6 I believe
This chip is very popular on Core 2 motherboards. I hope someone could make a driver for it as soon as possible.
Fixed!!! Okay. Support for
Fixed!!!
Okay. Support for the chip is in Andrew Morton's 2.6.18-rc7-mm patch. Well, it mostly is. Apply the sky2 parts to your 2.6.18 stable kernel, these are the files for the sky2 driver. Then you need to change the CHECKSUM_COMPLETE and CHECKSUM_PARTIAL strings to CHECKSUM_HM since for some ungodly reason nobody defines those checksum strings even though in the patches they change the CHECKSUM_HW strings to the others. Truthfully I think the same fix might work with the vendor driver, I didn't dig through those patches quite as deeply, yet. However, before I was unable to ifup my controller and use it to ssh. Now I can.
The only downside is that the controller will spit out sky2 ethx: phys read timeout constantly if it is not up and running where x is the number of the controller in your system. I'm going to go back in the driver and see if I can get rid of this behavior as well as check the vendor driver.
Anyway... The idea is that the kernel devs have working drivers for the chip. It will get into mainline very soon. For everyone else trying to get it to work now, you can use my fix.
Okay, the vendor driver is ev
Okay, the vendor driver is even better (it doesn't have the annoying error message and system performance is better), although it is a little scarier to get working since you have to modify more code.
To apply my fix, you need to patch with the vender utility, then try to make modules. There will be four things that refuse to compile. Two are #elifs (else ifs for #defines) that can be removed, I changed them to #elses. The final two are links to items in a structure that appear to not exist. I just killed the lines, since they assign a variable to something that is not used anywhere else. All of the stuff I modified is related to using the driver in polling mode as opposed to interrupt mode. This is a more efficient way of using the card if there is a constant workload. Since these machines are going to be workstations, not servers, they shouldn't need that. So disable using polling in the menuconfig (its a vendor-only option and not part of either the vanilla or mm tree, seeing the option is a good test to make sure you actually patched!) and none of this code should ever actually come close to running. However, the thought or randomly changing code you don't understand in your kernel is a bit scary, at least for an amateur kernel hacker such as myself.
Note the vendor driver is sk98lin, not sky2. If you have success with either of these methods please let me know.
what have you done to vendor
what have you done to vendor driver? I have compiled it with few minor issues, however system panics on boot....
Towards a working driver
I've been looking into this too -- I got the thing to compile and load without a kernel panic, but it wouldn't transmit. So I made the following changes:
1)change tso_size to gso_size in sky2.c, line 993
2)add this line at line 26 (just below #include):
#include
3) wherever you see an #if USE_SYNC_TX_QUEUE in sky2.c, replace it with:
#if defined USE_SYNC_TX_QUEUE
4) on line 64 of h/skdrv2nd.h, change #if CONFIG_NET_POLL_CONTROLLER to:
#if defined CONFIG_NET_POLL_CONTROLLER
My system is a gentoo 2006.1 box on a core 2 duo.
My adapter now works. If someone has some web space, I can post my files to it for others to download. Send me an email.

Try using gcc-3.3.x The vendor driver panics for me too with gcc 4.0 or 4.1 when it tries to resolve an ip on boot.
I'm a bit curious how you got the vanilla driver to work at all, since I couldn't and had to go into the -mm series. With vanilla I could modprobe sky2 but it won't see any additional adapters. Maybe this has something to do with gentoo specific patches?

I sent an e-mail, but thought everyone might benefit. First you get the GPL vendor drivers here:
http://www.marvell.com/drivers/driverDisplay.do?dId=153&pId=36
This contains a shell script that will make a patch for your kernel. Following the rather good documentation and instructions, you then make menuconfig. Here if you see a polling option under the Marvel Yukon Chipset driver, you know the patch was successfully applied. Running make modules on my system, it gives the following series of errors:

Something wrong here
Seems like all three drivers are no good for this chipset -- why was this stuff accepted into kernel tree? They seem to reject things that are much better than this kind of code!
If someone at vendor cannot contribute useable code and fix it in one year, they need to provide hardware specs. so someone who knows how to write a driver can.
Oh, wait, this is Marvell, selected by AMD yesterday for their "quality". AMD seems to like "secret hardware" as in ATI video drivers. At least if hardware is secret, don't get a beginner to write drivers for it! Thank you AMD/ATI/Marvell!

marvell 88E8056 gigabit ethernet is working...
just got the marvell 88E8056 gigabit ethernet to work with my opensuse 10.1 box
on hardware acer power 2000 mini desktop pc.
i hv tested it for a while it seems to be good until now.
here's the summary of what i did, hope it will help others.
1. download from marvell site
http://www.marvell.com/drivers/driverDisplay.do?dId=153&pId=36
2. untar install_v10.20.3.3.tar.bz2 to /usr/src/
3. read the README and install opensuse 10.1 kernel source before doing this.
4. run the DriverInstall/install.sh
5. select option "patch generation mode"
6. perform the following command
# cd /usr/src/linux
# cat /patch-location/sk98lin__vX.XX_a_b_c_patch | patch -p1
7. make menuconfig
8. make dep; make clean bzImage; make modules; make modules_install; make install
9. restart the system
10. dmesg | grep sk98lin would result:
sk98lin: Network Device Driver v10.20.3.3
11. ls /proc/net/sk98lin, would result:
eth0
12. setup ip address using your favourite way, i'm testing with ip addr add 10.0.0.1/24 dev eth0 and it works well.
That's it...
