[Bug 37784] Re: sky2 ethernet driver is freezing on big upload

[JJ]

What versions of the driver have you tried? I had this exact same bug
back in breezy / dapper flight 6. I have the same onboard NIC you have
as well. While I can't say I'm 100% positive that the bug is fixed I was
90% sure that it was fixed since I use some very graphics intensive
XWindows apps on my campus...usually spikeing traffic to 10+mbs...and
these were the same apps that were causing me trouble in the first
place. I am absolutely positive I don't have anything current, but I
know there was a similar bug in the windows driver for this card,
involving a buffer that was defaulted to have its value set too low. I
pointed this out a year or two ago, and the bug appeared to go away
after someone backported a driver to the current ubuntu version of the
kernel. I'll try to get both the link to the issue with the Windows
driver, and my current version of the kernel + driver as soon as I can,
but I'm at work without the computer in question.
