Description Berck E. Nash 2006-12-01 18:05:51 UTC
Under load, sky2 causes the system to hang.  The only output on the console is
the following:

[55022.353219] NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out
[55022.358356] sky2 eth0: tx timeout
[55022.361753] sky2 status report lost?

The problem exists in all kernels I've tested: 2.6.17 through 2.6.19-rc6-mm2. 
Every now and again the network device will crash, but won't take the system
down with it, and I'm able to recover with rmmod sky2 / modprobe sky2. If the
system does crash, after a reset, sky2 does not come up properly, but unloading
and reloading the module will recover it.

There is no appreciable difference with receive checksums disabled.

This is the onboard ethernet on ASUS P5W-DH Deluxe.  I am only using one of the
ethernet ports, the other is disabled in the BIOS.

Another case of driver not working on 88E8053.
I don't have this hardware to debug/fix problem so resolution will be slow.
