Description Daniel Wolstenholme 2005-10-06 02:23:54 UTC 
I have a new Gigabyte GA-8N-SLI Pro motherboard with the NVIDIA nForce 4 
chipset with the MCP-04 south bridge.  This chipset has a gigabit Ethernet 
port built-in, attached to a Marvell PHY.  When installing OpenSUSE 10.0 RC1 
from CDs, this ethernet adaptor is not auto-detected, and the system is not 
set up for it.  If I manually select the "sk98lin" device driver, it works as 
expected. 
 
Here's some lines from dmesg: 
NFORCE-MCP04: IDE controller at PCI slot 0000:00:0f.0 
    ACPI-0212: *** Warning: Device is not power manageable 
NFORCE-MCP04: chipset revision 162

Please, attach output of 'hwinfo --netcard'

Comment 3 Klaus Kämpf 2005-10-06 07:30:21 UTC 
Hmm, hwinfo reports "forcedeth" for the device but is looks like "sk98lin" 
would be the right one (see comment #0)
Comment 4 Steffen Winterfeldt 2005-10-06 09:52:49 UTC 
The nforce 4 problems were (hopefully) fixed in rc4. You can verify that 
with the final 10.0, which should be available by now (or very soon) or 
with the already released 10.1 alpha.
