Marvell 88e8056 - sky2 and sk98lin doesn't work.

[jarecki0909]

Hi I'm new on this forum and new user of UBUNTU.

I've got problem with Marvell 88e8056 ethernet card integrated on motherboard of Lenovo M57p (9018-CTO) station.

My kernel - 2.6.32 - customised for Marvell modules now. Distro Lucid Lynx 10.04.
My card isn't working at all on standard system module "sky2", but also on "sk98lin" - dowloaded from Marvell support - 2.6.-Fedora.

Tried to fix by merging module sk98lin in kernel, and setting as external module didn't work either.

Now it's marked as external module - sky2 and skge also.

Strange thing now is :

standard "modprobe sk98lin" doesn't change anything card still invisible...but after I choose "install" option on "install.sh" script of driver "modprobe sk98lin" does exist as "eth0" device of my system ( I haven't tried if it actually work ... but it is visible and that is a progress )...cool ... but after restart everything back to normal - after "modprobe sk98lin" card is still invisible till next "install" on "install.sh" script.
Any tip to get it working ?? Please help I haven't got a clue how to fix it.

Thank you in advance.
