the marvel system controller on pegasos2 has a gigabit ether adapter. hwinfo doesnt know this, yet. 0001:01:00.0 Host bridge: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. MV64360/64361/64362 System Controller (rev 03)

10.1 is close, and this bug is marked 10.1

mv643xx_eth doesn't come with a pci table. Any chance that can be changed?
BTW, does this chip provide any other things, too, like sound? Or just network?
Plese attach getsysinfo with mv643xx_eth loaded.
There are two of these Marvell thingies. Does that mean there are two network interfaces?
there is only one. mulberry has a beta7 installed.
Doesn't look very promising yet. /sys/class/net/xxx doesn't have a 'device' link - so I can't relate interface and card. And it doesn't seem to generate hotplug events - at least I couldn't get eth1 to show up in hal. Is there any chance to get the driver fixed or should I start adding a special hack?

So, yes and no: it could drive two ethernet interfaces, but there is only one in use.
the mv643xx_eth is a platform device, not a pci device. There is appearently no support for this class in the kernel, symlinks are not created for me. I have added the pci id of the hostbridge to the driver, so it gets automatically loaded. But hwinfo still doesnt find it.
