ASUS P5K Premium/WIFI-AP and ASUS P5E3 Deluxe have following two NICs:- Marvell 88E8056 10/100/1000 Мbit/sec + Realtek RTL8110SC 10/100/1000 Mbit/sec integrated on the board. Original installation has been run with RTL 8139 NIC plugged into PCI slot. As I expected, neither one of NICs integrated on ASUS P5K Premium/WIFI has been detected by CentOS 5.1 (x86_64) during install . To resolve the problem, I've successfully compiled the most recent SKGE Driver "install10.50.1.3.tar.bz2" with Xen-kernel. Ran "modprobe sky98lin". Rebooted CentOS 5.1 box. It came up with new ethernet interface eth2 assigned to Marvell Yukon 8056 Gig Ethernet . I've configured static IP for eth2.Modifiied xend-conf.sxp to reassign xenbr0 to eth2 , restarted xend and libvirtd services. Disabled eth0 configured for RTL 8139. Rebooted Linux box and performed virt-install for Windows HVM to test Xen functonality. All text above has been typed from IE running on WinXP HVM , connected to INTERNET through remote Proxy Server.
