I think this may be a PCIE issue, from what I have read.  But, I have 
recomplied the kernel (network devices) and configured both the 
forcedepth and skge drivers as modules.  If I unload the forcedepth or 
rename so it won't start durning boot, the SKGE driver WILL load and be 
listed in the lsmod and lspci but does nothing - no dmesg anything!  Its 
almost like the driver sees the device but is waiting on something else 
to load.....  There's very little information concerning this device - 
I'll keep digging.
