Hello, I can see some very strange problem with sky2 and skge interfaces with 2.6.22, and also 2.6.23-rc2/3. After 8-9 minutes, the interfaces stop working. ethtool reports that the link is down and the only way to make the interfaces usable again is removing/reinserting the module or running ethtool -r. This occurs for both sky2 and skge for two PCs connected to a gigabit switch. The other PCs on the same switch continue to work fine (most are 100Mbit/s). It also occurs on a third PC with skge, directly connected to a 100Mbit/s interface over a cross over cable. I didn't notice the problem with 2.6.19.
After 8-9 minutes, the interface stops working. ethtool reports that the link is down and the only way to make the interface usable again is removing/reinserting the module or running ethtool -r. For the skge interface connected to the gigabit switch, here is what ethtool reports: Settings for eth0: Supported ports: [ TP ] Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Half 1000baseT/Full Supports auto-negotiation: Yes Advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Half 1000baseT/Full Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes Speed: Unknown!
