I do not see a yukon under dev anymore. I see only 2 files in the msk directory, is it really moved here? No. msk(4) supports Marvell Yukon II controllers. > Is the Yukon-II sky2 driver support present in Freebsd 6.1? How easy would it to backport this to 6.1? No. Backporting msk(4) from stable/8 and stable/7 to 6.1 may require some work and time due to KPI differences but it's doable if you spend some time. > If yes, then is there a way to disable the skgeinit(which seems to be the default) and enable the sky2 driver? > You don't need to disable skgeinit and sky2. Actually I don't know where you got the name of skgeinit. AFAIK skgeinit is a function name of vendor's Linux driver. > Anjali
