Knoppix 5.1.1, what else is broken?
Just installed knoppix 5.1.1 on my machine, however I was unable to get it to recognise my builtin Ethernet port.
Motherboard is Asus P4P800 with Yukon Gigabte 10/100/1000 chipset. The problem is that knoppix 2.4.19 kernel loads
the sk98lin module which is deprecated and has been replaced by the skge module.
I tried removing and installing kernel modules, but could not fix this, so I have had to reload knoppix 5.0.1
Used commands:
rmmod sk98lin modprobe skge
I could ping my own card with a static address, but not my router? This is strange because the default gateway was showing
but I could not ping the router. Pinging a WAN address i.e. ping www.google.co.uk also failed, as I cannot reach the router.
The contents of resolv.conf were fine, just dont know what was wrong.
Previous versions of knoppix and 5.01 work fine.
Heres the output from knoppix 5.01:
anc@orac:~$ lspci -vv | grep Ethernet
0000:02:05.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8001 Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 13)

anc@orac:~$ dmesg | grep eth
skge eth0: addr 00:0e:a6:8c:f3:16
eth1394: eth1: IEEE-1394 IPv4 over 1394 Ethernet (fw-host0)
skge eth0: enabling interface

skge eth0: Link is up at 100 Mbps, full duplex, flow control tx and rx
ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth0: link becomes ready
eth0: no IPv6 routers present
If there is a way to get my ethernet working with knoppix 5.1.1 I wil try it. Using the live cd of knoppix 5.1.1 also
I also know that the kdesu command is not working but using commands from the route terminal solve this.
Thanks in advance for any help.
