Linux kernel v3.11.1 gives me a partially functional network on hardware using the skge driver. I am running Arch Linux i686. I do not see anything obvious in the dmesg output to indicate that a problem exists. I am happy to supply any additional info to help you further diagnose this issue. Attachments: *proposed patch to fix problem Bug fix: Reverting the last 3 commits against drivers/net/ethernet/marvell/skge.c which is contained in the attached patch fixes the issue. I do not know which of the 3 caused the problem; I am not a programmer/developer. More info: in the bug state (i.e. using the unmodified 3.11.1 source): What works: *Netctl successfully bring up the interface *I can ping internal IP addresses *I can resolve domain names; wget can start a download from the AUR (aur.archlinux.org gets resolved to a numerical IP but the download never starts). What doesn't work: *I cannot ping external addresses (names or numerical) *I cannot ssh out or into the box *I cannot receive data via wget which just hangs indefinitely. dmesg | grep skge [ 6.020443] skge: 1.14 addr 0xd5000000 irq 17 chip Yukon-Lite rev 7 [ 6.020977] skge 0000:01:04.0 eth0: addr 00:0e:a6:70:b8:12 [ 9.009004] skge 0000:01:04.0 enp1s4: enabling interface [ 11.906824] skge 0000:01:04.0 enp1s4: Link is up at 1000 Mbps, full duplex, flow control both [ 12.093470] skge 0000:01:04.0 enp1s4: disabling interface [ 12.095851] skge 0000:01:04.0 enp1s4: enabling interface [ 15.733743] skge 0000:01:04.0 enp1s4: Link is up at 1000 Mbps, full duplex, flow control both

This issue has been resolved since 3.11.3 or .4 from my memory. Safe to close.
