Here's exactly what I did and what worked for me: -install linux-headers-2.6.15-25 and linux-headers-2.6.15.25.386 (the second package will obviously depend on your architecture and have to atch your kernel version) with synaptic package manager - make a simlink in /usr/src from linux-headers-2.6.15-25-386 to linux (sudo ln -s /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.15-25-386 /usr/src/linux) - unpack the file install-8_32.tar.bz2 downloaded from the marvell website, change into that directory and run install.sh as root - at the prompt, enter option '1' = installation - remove the module sky2 (sudo rmmod sky2) and load sk98lin (sudo modprobe sk98lin) - I have not made this permanent yet, so every time I restart, I have to manually remove both sky2 and sk98lin and then reload sk98lin, but eventually I'll remove sky2 alltogether.
