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

Tue May 9 04:05:24 UTC 2006

It seems that there's a new release of sky2 driver (1.3) that fixes some issues:

sky2: backout NAPI reschedule
sky2: status irq hang fix
sky2: tx ring index mask fix
sky2: use mask instead of modulo operation
sky2: edge triggered workaround enhancement
sky2: dont write status ring
sky2: synchronize irq on remove
sky2: Add more support for the Yukon Ultra chip found in dual core centino laptops. 

There are about 15 bugs opened about sky2 driver! We desperately need to choose: sync with upstream or revert back to the old syskonnect driver (sk98lin)
