Description Thorsten Kukuk 2005-08-25 09:52:10 UTC 
Model: "Intel Gigabit Ethernet Controller"
  Vendor: pci 0x11ab "Marvell Technology Group Ltd."
  Device: pci 0x4361 "Gigabit Ethernet Controller"
  SubVendor: pci 0x8086 "Intel Corporation"
  SubDevice: pci 0x3065 
  Revision: 0x17


The sky2 driver will be loaded, the machine will get an IP from dhcp, but then
the network will stop working, no ping possible.

Same here, I can copy small files (100K) but with bigger files the receiver 
seems to hang, and run later into overflow, reset the PHY and queus seems to 
be not enough  to recover. I'm debuging this now, looking for differences 
between last sk98lin and sky2.

Same here with Marvell Technology Gigabit Controller (rev 15)
Subsystem: ASUSTek Computer Inc Marvell 88E8053 Gigabit ethernet controller (Asus).
Problems appear also when "rmmod sky2"; it hangs with:
sky2 eth0: disabling interface
unregister_netdevice: waiting for eth0 to become free. Usage count = 1

And then the logs get filled with this. modprobe -r works fine.
Comment 3 Karsten Keil 2005-08-29 20:28:44 UTC 
The sky2 driver doesn't work at all, so we decided to include sk98lin patches 
again, beta4 should have it.
