I can't find a Linux driver for it except one that appears to require me to recompile a custom kernel. I find it on the Marvell website:
No, you make a module with that downlaod. I also have the unfortunate luck to have a few systems with various Marvell nics and they aren't as good as Intel IMHO.
If the 88E8042 shares the same driver as 88E8056, check out this forum thread:

Scroll down to note #5 and get the kABI tracking kmod-sk98lin package. There will be no need to rebuild the driver for each kernel update.
