[Bug 38865] sky2 driver freezing system after ifdown and ifup

[capacman]

Public bug reported:

Affects: linux-source-2.6.15 linux-image-2.6.15-20-686 (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
My system is freezing when i issue command
sudo ifdown eth0
sudo ifup eth0

This did not happen  in linux-image-2.6.15-19-686. I tried same commands in different computer with different ethernet card and it works. I think the problem is related to sky2 driver.
This is the output in /var/log/messages when issue those commands:
Apr  9 01:48:16 localhost kernel: [4301524.091000] sky2 eth0: disabling interface
Apr  9 01:48:16 localhost kernel: [4301524.136000] sky2 eth0: enabling interface
Apr  9 01:48:17 localhost kernel: [4301525.786000] sky2 eth0: Link is up at 100 Mbps, full duplex, flow control both
Apr  9 01:49:33 localhost syslogd 1.4.1#17ubuntu5: restart.
I have to restart after those commands.
