I was finally able to get sound and network going on my i915 motherboard. This post might help others with similar problems. I did the following:

Upgraded to kernel linux-2.6.10-gentoo-r6.
donloaded sk98lin driver from http://www.syskonnect.de.
Created and installed patch in /usr/src/linux-2.6.10-gentoo-r6
Changed the following lines of code:
/usr/src/linux-2.6.10-gentoo-r6/drivers/net/sk98lin/skge.c:
line 678 replace
Code:
pci_restore_state(pdev, pAC->PciState);
with
Code:
pci_restore_state(pdev);

line 758 replace
Code:
pci_save_state(pdev, pAC->PciState);
with
Code:
pci_save_state(pdev);


/usr/src/linux-2.6.10-gentoo-r6/drivers/net/sk98lin/skge.c:
line 1519 replaced
Code:
pci_dma_sync_single(
.. with
Code:
pci_dma_sync_single_for_cpu(
..
line 1542 replaced
Code:
pci_dma_sync_single(
.. with
Code:
pci_dma_sync_single_for_cpu(
..
After this make kernel and install modules.

emerge'ed media-sound/alsa-driver-1.0.8_rc1.
Load snd-azx module:
Code:
modprobe snd-azx

Unmute PCM channel:
Code:
amixer set PCM 100 unmute

That's it!

I downloaded the Gigabit adapters SK-98xx drivers for linux 2.4 and 2.6 kernels. The install script for these drivers will give you an option to patch the kernel source.
Which kernel version are you currently using?
