Can anyone help get my ethernet port working using the sky2 module?

[Georgina Joyce]

Hi All 

I purchased a new machine recently and liked it that much I purchased a
slightly different one but the motherboards appear to be the same.  Just
for completeness they are shuttles the K45 and K48.

The two machines are called orchid and magnolia.  I'm writing this email
from orchid and other than a reboot problem I'm very happy with her.
But whatever I attempt I can't get maggies ethernet port to work.
Reading around I found that someone had asked for output from ethtool.
So I installed this on both machines and could see strate away that
maggies speed and duplex settings are null.  (See below).  Both machines
have debian Lenny kernel 2.6.26-2-686.  Orchid from a new install but
maggie has been upgraded over several years.  Maggie seems to remap the
ethernet device to eth1 via udev for some reason.  How can I undo this?
What do I need to do to kick this thing into life?

Whoops I forgot the output from lspci for magnolia.  But they are the
same rev 12.
