Internet access with Marvell Yukon 2 onboard hardware
« on: April 04, 2009, 11:16:51 AM »
My Aspire 3680 has a Marvell 88E8038 PCI-E ethernet adaptor, which uses the sky2 module. Alas, the module is not present in Tiny Core, which means no internet access, which in turn means no installation of packages from the repositories. Where can I get this module for Tiny Core?

Starting with Tiny Core 1.3 there will be much less reason to modprobe as even extensions that contain modules will trigger automatic detection/modprobe.
