The applet is good, but when there are problems will need to diagnose
with more direct commands.

The questions are:
        * does 'skge' get loaded?
                # lsmod
        * what is system log show related to skge
                # dmesg | grep skge

Does it work with 'sk98lin' driver?
        # rmmod skge
        # modprobe sk98lin

Most likely this is a Marvell Yukon 2 chipset, which requires different
driver support. I infer this because it is the PCI-express version.
The only driver that handles Yukon2 on Linux is the version from Syskonnect's
web site, but don't think it still works with 2.6.10
