my rhel is present on one partition nd one partition contains windows vista.. besides these two, there are three more partitions. rhel is also not showing the other partitions..

In a distro with a modern kernel, this device would use either the sky2 or skge driver. My first recommendation is this: If you don't have to use RHEL, switch to a newer version of Linux. Fedora is a Red Hat based distro, and Fedora 11 is the latest.

There is a driver from Marvell that you may be able to install. It is called sk98lin, and can be downloaded from Marvell.

Marvell: Consumer Driver Search

I selected Linux 2.6 - Fedora for the platform, and then downloaded the file install_v10.70.7.3.tar.tar. Read the README file (like the name says to do), then run the install script to install.

When compiling kernel modules, you first should install these files/programs.

kernel-devel (kernel source)
kernel-headers
gcc (Linux C compiler)
make (most likely already installed)
