Public bug reported:

       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
0000:07:00.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8036
Fast Ethernet Controller (rev 15)

sky2 driver loaded

I can browse the web, check emails etc... but, If I try some rsync from
my old laptop (to backup my stuff) the network freeze after 1 or
2minutes.

the bug is reproductible.

I don't have logs each time, but, sometimes I got this
Apr 15 11:35:42 archon kernel: [4297572.802000] NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out
Apr 15 11:35:42 archon kernel: [4297572.802000] sky2 hardware hung? flushing

I try to compile the latest kernel 2.6.16.9 with make_kpkg

I tried it and the bug was still there... :(

I'm runing dapper drake (up to date) on a vaio sz1
Linux archon 2.6.15-20-686 #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Apr 4 18:37:00 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux
