[PATCH] skge support for Marvell chips in Toshiba laptops

Here's a small patch to add the PCI ID and chip type of the chip in my
Toshiba laptop to the skge driver. I haven't tested it much (just
insmoded it and run ethtool against the corresponding eth1 device), but
it doesn't crash my system, so unless this configuration has already
been tested and is known to have problems, it might be good to add this
patch.

I'll test some more with a real network when I get home.

Thanks,
Jesse

The device ID you added (0x4351) is already claimed by the new sky2 driver.

Unless theres a mistake in sky2's device table, your laptop contains a
Yukon-II adapter which is incompatible with the original Yukon chips (skge =
Yukon, sky2 = Yukon-II).

On the other hand, I believe Stephen could do with some extra sky2 testing :)
You can find it in the latest -mm releases.

Oh cool, I'll try that driver instead. Thanks.

What is the name of sky2 driver? I can't to find it in:
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.14-rc4/2.6.14-rc4-mm1/broken-out/

Wrong place?
