	It seems that the issue occurs as soon as the nic is brought up:

Pid: 6, comm:             events/0
EIP: 0060:[<c02e9e6f>] CPU: 0
EIP is at __gm_phy_read+0x42/0x7b

The nic was not working properly at bootup (it was unable to detect link,gain ip from dhcp) but I have discovered that adding an ifconfig
eth0 up prior to launching dhcp worked:

sky2 eth0: enabling interface
sky2 eth0: Link is up at 100 Mbps, full duplex, flow control tx
sky2 eth0: disabling interface
sky2 eth0: phy read timeout
sky2 eth0: enabling interface
sky2 eth0: phy read timeout
sky2 eth0: speed/duplex mismatch<6>sky2 eth0: Link is up at 100 Mbps, full duplex, flow control tx

	Also when I shutdown/reboot sky2 eth0: phy read timeout messages flood
 the console for a few seconds. The nic is detected as :

sky2 v0.15 addr 0xf0000000 irq 19 Yukon-EC Ultra(0xb4) rev 2
