Title:
  eth0 suddenly disappears with sky2 driver

Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  After sometime the PC is on if not used the eth0 interface simply
  disappears.

  Doing some further investigation I realized that this device isn't listed on 
udev net.rule, as I did have the MAC address info of the "ghost" interface I 
have added an entry in that config file and they I tried to unload/load the 
sky2 driver in order to check what would happen. 
  Curiously after doing that I've got the following message in dmesg

  dmesg
  [ 5328.995899] sky2: driver version 1.30
  [ 5328.996384] sky2 0000:02:00.0: setting latency timer to 64
  [ 5328.996445] sky2 0000:02:00.0: unsupported chip type 0xff
  [ 5328.996484] sky2: probe of 0000:02:00.0 failed with error -95

  As follows below the detail about the interface which were supposed to
  be working as eth0:

  lspci
  02:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. Yukon 
Optima 88E8059 [PCIe Gigabit Ethernet Controller with AVB] [11ab:4381] (rev 11)
          Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device [103c:1456]
          Kernel modules: sky2

  As shown below, nothing appears regards eth0 even on ifconfig -a,
  however I can see that it is still there in lspci.

  lo        Link encap:Local Loopback
            inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
            inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host

            collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
            RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)

  I guess it may be an error related to sky2 or network-manager, I'll do 
further check and then I'll post the results in here.
  Please let me know in case further details are required, i hope it helps.

  thanks.
