I've noticed most of the new AMD64 chipsets now include integrated
marvell GigE and wifi chips onboard. I haven't been able to find much
on the status of linux support for these chips. Apparently the PCIE
GigE chip only works with sk98lin and not skge:
http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0502.1/0010.html
Does anyone know if support for the chip is being added to skge? The
88W8310 doesn't seem to be supported at all, at least not that I can
see. Does anyone know the status of the 88W8310? Are there any
experimental drivers? Is Marvell friendly to opensource? Are the
databooks available?
Thanks,
Alex

You need to use the version from SysKonnect. If you look at the source
for that, you will see why I started on the skge driver.

As soon as I get the hardware (on order), or a donation of a new system.
Then I will report the interface from sk98lin.

If you find databook for Yukon 2 chipset let me know. I found the original
Yukon and Genesis manuals, but nothing newer.

Thanks for the info. If I get a board with a yukon 2, I'd be happy to
help. I don't suppose you know anything about the wifi chip
(88W8310)? Jeff?
Thanks,
Alex
