Instead I am running 2.6.13.1 with sk98lin-8.23.1.3.patch The MB is ASUS P5GDC-V-Deluxe and the the on-board NIC: # lspci -v -s 02:00.0 0000:02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8053 Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 15) Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.

Some ASUS boards apparently have problems with the VPD being broken, but I am not sure how to check that. > BTW, is this patch submitted to the Linus or -mm tree already? ??
