The Linksys EG1032 v3 uses the Realtek RTL8169S-32 chipset.

The Realtek r8169 driver is what you want to use with this card. Unfortunately, the Syskonnect (sk98lin) driver registers itself as the driver for all Linksys Gigabit Adaptors (PCI Vendor/Device 0x1737/0x1032). The v2 card (PCI Subvendor 0x0015) uses sk98lin. The v3 card (PCI Subvendor 0x0024) should use the r8169.

I got mine working, but it wasn't the prettiest:
- I had to delete my sk98lin module
- I had to modify and recompile the r8169 module

I got it to work.

Distro: Fedora Core 4
Kernel: 2.6.14-1.1644_FC4
Card: Lynksys EG1032
Switch: Netgear GS108

The driver on the card's CD is obsolete. I downloaded a new one from here:
http://mandalore.dyndns.biz/svn/public/linux/eg1032v3/
There's a README with compiling instructions.

"make install" failed since it could not do "rmmod r8169", so I commented out this line.

Next I modified /etc/modprobe.conf
Removed: alias eth1 sk98lin
Added: alias eth1 r8169
(This is the 2nd card in the computer)

and from command line:
ifconfig eth1 up

The driver was loaded and the 1000 Mb LED on the switch went on
(it was off until the driver was loaded).

Oh, the pain. :(

There are several revs of this card. I have heard that v1 and v2 work with linux, but I have not tested them myself.

The v3 (which I bought) is now supported under kernels 2.6.15+, but it gets around 100Mb/s instead of 1000Mb/s (that is nic to nic; not thru a switch). Drivers from vendor don't work either.

I love this:

# mii-tool
SIOCGMIIPHY on 'eth0' failed: Operation not supported

Pre 2.6.15 kernels require you to change some hw recongnition strings in the sk98lin and r8169 drivers (see LinuxQuestions.org for the full thread) and a kernel recompile.

When I called linksys about the nic and told them that the drivers on their website didnt work for v3 cards they said, "Really? Gee, that's too bad."
