This won't be fixed as part of 2.6.18.x? Looking at the source for
the latest gentoo-sources in the 2.6.17 stream I don't see ID 4364 in
the source for sky2.c [sky2_id_table[]]. So why is it detected and
working there but not in 2.6.18?

I'll try adding the device to the table and see what happens.

Adding the line to the table works now. [yipee, I get proper SATA and
net now woot!]

May I request that someone insert that one line to drivers/net/sky2.c
before 2.6.19?

[yeah I know not a normal patch ... I'm also not a kernel developer...]

I'm still confused on how it works in 2.6.17 without the ID?

Thanks,
