Issue with sk/skc/msk/mskc based NIC - man sk(4) vs kernel config

["HORSTMANN, Jens" <jehors%NetBSD.de@localhost>]

Hi,

I have a possibly simple question. I am trying to make my Marvell Yukon 
NIC work with a netbsd-6/amd64 installation. So far, I have not had any 
success and I started to investigate.

I am confused with two version of the the same subject and wonder which 
one is the right one. The one version will not let me to complete my 
kernel configuration, the other one will produce a working kernel but 
with obviously missing support for the NIC device (dmesg does not report 
it, just a vendor/product ID + "not configured").


man sk(4) says:

skc*    at pci? dev ? function ?
sk*     at skc?
mskc*   at pci? dev ? function ?
msk*    at skc?


whereas the kernel config for GENERIC (i386/amd64) says:

skc*    at pci? dev ? function ?
sk*     at skc?
mskc*   at pci? dev ? function ?
msk*    at mskc?


When changing the kernel config from "msk*    at mskc?" to "msk* at 
skc?" I end up with when trying "config" for my kernel:

715: 'msk' cannot attach to 'skc'


I am not deep into OS development, but *could* imagine that there is a 
mismatch among the above two version that is the root of the problem. 
Has anyone a working msk(c) device?

Any hint to a possible solution is highly appreciated.

If you need further information or want me to test something on my 
machine, just let me know.

Best regards
