Current Issues

  • loading firewire-related modules (ieee1394, ohci1394, eth1394, sbp2 - I believe that's all, though there could be more) will cause the kernel to disable IRQ #11.
  • sk98lin driver conflicts with ipw2200 driver (wireless). When wireless gets activated, the kernel panics - not syncing
  • wireless eems to go out after a few minutes (of inactivity?)

Solutions

Networking

The way I got my wired ethernet card to work was to download the drivers from SysKonnect themselves and compile them using their ./install.sh script.

  • vi /etc/hotplug/blacklist and add these drivers: ieee1394 ohci1394 eth1394 sbp2
  • vi /etc/modules and remove sbp2
  • Get the driver from http://www.syskonnect.com/syskonnect/support/driver/htm/sk9elin.htm

  • Install compiler packages and kernel headers with the command apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-uname -r

  • sudo ln -s /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.10-5-386 /usr/src/linux

  • Go to the directory where you saved the drivers and decompress the archive: tar -xvjf *.tar.bz2

  • cd DriverInstall

  • sudo ./install.sh

  • Configure your network card address/settings any way pleases you
