do to severe incompatibility problems with my previous motherboard's IDE and fbsd5.3, i recently purchased
a new gigabyte 865PE, complete with onboard marvell nic. :(

from dmesg (after applying identifying patch)
----
skc0: <Marvell Gigabit Ethernet> port 0xac00-0xacff mem 0xfb000000-0xfb003fff irq 20 at device 9.0 on pci2

miibus0: <MII bus> on sk0

unfortuantely, this motherboard too has severe problems. 
although the nic is recognised at install/boot, it simply *refuses* to come up. dhclient just draws a blank.
i have tried to ifconfig sk0 up and down a few times, but makes no difference.

i tried to apply Michal's above patch off an absolute fresh install. ie. the *very* first thing i did
sadly, only 1 of the 2 chunks succeeded.

from if_sk.c.rej

note, i cannot cvsup to latest RLEENG_5, because i have no network! :(
any ideas on what to do from here? 
although the patch did not work automatically, i could manually insert the code, 
but i am well aware of the problems that may cause!

if anyone (in europe) is able to help me solve this issue, i will gladly send them my old ASRock PE ProHT motherboard!
its in perfect condition and works fine with freebsd4.10 - tragically, 5.3 refuses to work with the 
onboard sis IDE controller... 


much thanks,
