Driver sk98lin makes repeated attempts to read VPD even after the first VpdInit() fails. This is wrong.

Now that skge is in 2.6.13, perhaps the proper thing to do is to take
DGE-530T out of the PCI table for sk98lin?

Sounds good to me -- since your skge works fine -- but there are lots of people with Marvell GBE on the motherboard that are in the same predicament. The PCI table for sk98lin could be pruned further (in favor of skge).

Sincerely,
