           Summary: on-board Marvell Gigabit ethernet card is not always
                    recognized and does not work at maximal speed
           Product: ACPI
           Version: 2.5
     KernelVersion: stable branch 2.6.26-rc6
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: Config-Tables
        AssignedTo: acpi_config-tables at kernel-bugs.osdl.org

Latest working kernel version: n/a
Earliest failing kernel version: n/a
Distribution: n/a
Hardware Environment: Abit AX78 (AM2+ AMD 770 / SB600)
Software Environment: n/a
Problem Description:

i have to set the kernel parameter pci=nommconf, otherwise the on-board Marvell
Gigabit ethernet card 88x8056 is not always recognized even when the kernel
module is forced loading. I'm using sky2 kernel driver. Moreover, the
motherboard seems not to have a phy controller built in and also the on-board
ethernet card does not work natively at its maximal speed 1Gb.

The same appends sometimes with the ps2 keyboard. As a workaround i use the
i8042.npnp parameter to make the keyboard work.

The bios lets me activate XSDT table for 64bits OS, but this does not change
anything. 

I sent the acpi dump file to the linux-acpi at vger.kernel.org directly
(21/06/2008) because of a thermal warning. If you want me to send it again let
me know (i don't want to send a duplicate).

Steps to reproduce: n/a
