I also have mb Aopen i855GMEm-LFS which is acting funny with it's
Marvell Yukon Lite Gigabit Ethernet rev. A3(0x7). On a stock system it
wont work, if I define SK_VERBOSE it works as long as i'm using
integrated video. If I plug in an agp-card it again stops working,
plugging an agp card makes ram a bit faster as it wont main-memory for
video.
This is with if_sk.c,v 1.12 (NetBSD 2.99.15), 1.7G Pentium-M (Banias)
The same system worked fine with 3com card using NetBSD 2.0
