  the sk98lin driver in the kernel is getting to be rather old, and
  doesn't support things like the Marvel 88E8053 found on Asus P5AD2
  Deluxe motherboards.  the installation tool from SysKonnect comes
  with a patch generator, which makes everything nice and tidy, but
  the patch is huge against any current kernel.  against 2.6.9-rc1-mm4
  we're looking at just over a megabyte.

  I have however tested the driver against a few chipsets with 2.6.7
  and 2.6.9-rc1-mm4, and it seems to work for me[tm].  I can happily
  produce the patch for either of these kernels if need be.

  oh, and the version of the driver I've tested, version 7.07, finally
  works with tools like pcimodules.
