[Bug 537168] [NEW] [lucid] add support for Marvel 0x8431 (88E8059)

[spaetz]

Public bug reported:

New netbooks (eg. the Hewlett Packard 5102) have a Marvell ethernet card (0x11AB:0x8431). Support for this card went into 2.6.33 (in the sky2 driver), but not in 2.6.31. The patch to support it has been taken into the Suse kernel and works fine there. Given that the 2.6.31 kernel is going to be used for quite some time, it would be great to also support this device and take the Suse patch (which is really just 3 kernel upstream patches).
The patches are here:
http://gitorious.org/opensuse/kernel-source/commit/68c33163d0e1e7bf44cf0bb4c6b8497e944d7886

I am going to send a mail to the kernel list to facilitate some
discussion, thanks in advance.
