Hi Leann,

I can confirm this behaviour. Especially scp/scp -r on my local network
kills eth0 after ~500MB (actually [50; 1000]MB).

Happens with hardy based mythbuntu (should have the same kernel), zen-
sources (see http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-672773.html) (master,
2.6.24 based and master-devel, 2.6.25_rc based). So I'd say this is a
generic sky2 kernel bug... Propably worth some lkml mails....

So yes, this is still happening all the time here :( But just under
heavy network load. I can run skype, rsync to the internet, apt-get or
surf the web for days (literally days, the box was running for 2 days
without network problems - even compiling gentoo in a chroot worked
(wget, rsync, ...)).

I've tried to play around with ethtool but no real success, yet.

Hope this helps....
