    From this thread, you have the exact openSUSE instructions for loading the sky2 module for your Marvell ethernet port from this post. Having said that, there's been lots of problem with the Linux sky2 driver from Marvell in the past. You can read about some of them at this thread and this one. Your best chance at success it to make sure you're using the latest version of your Linux distribution, to ensure having the system include the latest version of the sky2 module. Hopefully your version of sky2 will work with your hardware. If it doesn't, you can try the sk98lin driver instead, or just until you upgrade your Linux installation later.

    Good Luck..
