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.
