New to gentoo!
Welcome to a new world of learning!
I have gentoo amd64 loaded and the forcedepth drive is detecting the
first network card. Both the default skge and the sk98lin manually
downloaded from SysKonnect will load without errors and display in
the lsmod. Neither will actually detect the network card.
I don't get it. If it's modprobed and lsmod shows it, means the cards
are detected. your lcpci shows the cards are detected.
I have included the lspci -vv at the end of this message.
1. are both of these interfaces active, meaning can I use both.
Yes. Doesn't ifconfig show anything? ifconfig eth1 or ifconfig eth0??
2. Being new to gentoo, should the interface be added
automatically upon modprobe or is there something more I need to do.
U modprobe the drivers, they get seen by the kernel. Then you need to up
the interface. DHCP?
make sure you edit /etc/conf.d/net (there are example files in there as
well)
/etc/init.d/net.eth? up
Oh.. yeah.. since you have 2 eth, make the apropriate symlink for eth1
eg: ln -s eth0 eth1
I think this may be a PCIE issue, from what I have read. But, I have
recomplied the kernel (network devices) and configured both the
forcedepth and skge drivers as modules. If I unload the forcedepth or
rename so it won't start durning boot, the SKGE driver WILL load and
be listed in the lsmod and lspci but does nothing - no dmesg
anything! Its almost like the driver sees the device but is waiting
on something else to load..... There's very little information
concerning this device - I'll keep digging.

Ok - I managed to get this working, kind of. I installed a fresh
gentoo-sources, selected the forcedepth, skge and the sk98lin drivers as
modules. Recompiled and booted. Then I downloaded the
http://www.syskonnect.com/syskonnect/support/driver/htm/sk9elin.htm and
ran the install. It did detect the network card!! I configued and
rebooted. Both network cards did come up - I assigned different ip
address to both cards ( both on the same network - 192.168.1.50 (eth0)
and 192.168.1.55(eth1). The odd thing is if I plug in the eth0 card, I
can telnet to BOTH ip addresses while eth1 is disconnected. If I
disconnect eth0 and connect eth1, I cannot connect to either address.
Am I missing something????????? or is this the correct behavior?
