It seems that the SuSE Firewall locked something ....

I started with kernel 2.6.15-git7, tried 2.6.15.1 and 2.6.16-rc1*.
At the moment I do use a kernel 2.6.15-git7 patched with an updated sky2 (v.013).
I could not find a single working sky2 configuration.


Are you using the full kernel.org kernel, or are you putting sky2 driver into
the SUSE kernel?

No SuSE kernels here. I started with kernel.org kernel 2.6.15-git7 and
had those problems. Then I tried 2.6.16-rc3-git3, the most recent kernel
at the time of my original writing. As I had some other problems with
that kernel I had a look at the git tree of Linus and applied all sky2 related
patches to the otherwise unchanged 2.6.15-git7. 2.6.15.1 also was no
solution as sky2 seems to be not available there.

There are a number of bug fixes related to hardware checksumming
that are in the kernel.org kernel (2.6.15 or later).  There was one in ICMP.
These fixes relate to places in the code where a protocol decides to trim a
packet by removing bytes. I am not familiar with the SuSE Firewall. Is it just
standard netfilter modules or additional code?
I have to admit that I don´t know enough about the network layers
of the kernel, so here is a list of the network modules loaded (sky2
compiled into the kernel). SuSEFirewall is just standard netfiltering
using those modules.

As said before, rtl8139 does work perfectly well, the same is true
for an identical system with a Via Rhine adapter.
