Thanks Ronald,
It appears that Marvell needs to update/release driver
compatible to SLES10 SP1. They should have notified of this
change affecting their driver had they been part of Novell
Linux Driver Process (http://developer.novell.com/wiki/index.ph
p/Partner_Linux_Driver_Process). I will see If they can
participate (If not a member)and avoid this kind of
inconvenience to end-user.
Regards,
Arun
