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the sk98lin module which is deprecated and has been replaced by the skge module.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: Link is up at 100 Mbps, full duplex, flow control tx and rx

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.
