Thanks - it's not a high priority for me, I can always use other booting 
methods or another PCI NIC - but it would be nice to make use the of the 
on-board NIC ...

If anyone is interested in doing this, I notice that Stephen Hemminger 
has a rewrite of the sk98lin driver for 2.6 Linux kernels - which might 
be a better starting point than the SysKonnect Linux driver - especially 
as the code is all in one source + header file - see:
