You can get latest sk(4) driver from the following URL.
http://people.freebsd.org/~yongari/sk/if_sk.c
http://people.freebsd.org/~yongari/sk/if_skreg.h
...
I'd like to hear any success/failure reports. If you have a NIC that
is supported by sk(4) please give it a try and let me know the result.
Here my short status report:
History: In November 2004 I bought a new motherboard with
Marvell Yukon Lite Gigabit Ethernet rev. A3(0x7)/<Marvell 88E1000
Gigabit PHY, but this was unusable under FreeBSD 5.3. A short time
later an errata notice was created for this release. So I used this
NIC for slow DSL connection only.
Some weeks ago I changed my LAN architecture, I wanted to use the 1GB
NIC with sk0 and thought the OS has now (6.0) working drivers. But
immediately I has some locks and "sk0 watchdog timeouts". So I tried
the mentioned drivers.
The result is - very good. I'm using the driver from the web site
MD5 (if_sk.c) = 2ce9867445df8e1bfe6075597a0de87c
MD5 (if_skreg.h) = c8b572ae9fa3b536af86dff07a5c75e9
with 6.1-PRERELEASE-200602270917 i386
and had no problems until now.
Thanks for this work, it seems to be a real improvement.
Regards,
Frank
