I am using "centos 5" and it seems the "udev" cam in with e16 ... So can't 
go that way..

Something else to bother me is that lspci reports the ethernet device 
correctly. "Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8001" but the "ifcfg-eth0"

# head -3  /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

# D-Link System Inc DGE-528T Gigabit Ethernet Adapter
DEVICE=eth0
ONBOOT=yes


# ethtool -i eth0

driver: skge
version: 1.6


So it seems it is using the correct driver for "88E8001"
