Unfortunately, there's no unified 32/64 driver packages for
the syskonnect/marvell device. You get yukon and yukonx;
it should be one driver name, one packages.
But there's a syskonnect driver for 32 and 64 bit; you may need to add
a specific driver_alias.
Another problem is that the

Yeah, better get the Atom 230/330 :-)
