I have a similar chipset in this desktop:

Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 14)
Subsystem: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. Device 00ba
It's worked perfectly with the sky2 driver in all kernel versions since
goodness knows
what. It certainly worked with all of the 2.6.31 releases. It's
currently on gentoo-sources 2.6.32-r1.
Good to know, I hope it's just a cable issue, but the coincidence with
the upgrade makes me worry.
sky2 seems to be kind of touchy with different chipsets. I have a circa
2008 Mac Mini running CentOS (so it's got whatever voodoo magic
backported version of sky2 that RedHat included) and it was giving me
all sorts of grief with hangup/reset issues (apparently related to
issues with bridged connections). I also have a Gentoo box with 2 NICs
(one being an 88E8053, just like the Mac Mini) that was having issues
with large transfers on the sky2 connection years ago so I switched over
to the other NIC.
Good luck with your search.
