Bjoern,

May I suggest that you have a look at what the official drivers from 
Marvell do in their linux 2.6 source package which can be found at
http://www.marvell.com/drivers/upload/install-8_13.tar.bz2

I happen to have such a Yukon card in two of my personal dual Xeons (bling 
& lexi) that I would love to get working.

I am really in a timecrunch period at work. If I wasn't I would be hacking 
away at this right now...

Thanks,
Andy
