Stephen -- ACK?

Yes.  Existing driver is dead, if there are any ancient boards that don't
work with skge, I haven't heard any complaints in at least a year.
As a fallback users, can always go with vendor driver.

I have a several SK-9872s that do not work reliably with skge but work fine with sklin. The SK-9872 is a dual port card. Doing the following causes a hard lock:

modprobe bonding miimon=100 mode=active-backup
modprobe skge
ifup bond0
ifdown bond0

This happens with every version of skge I've tested, including whatever is in 2.6.22. /etc/network/interfaces contains:

iface bond0 inet static
        network 192.168.1.0
        address 192.168.1.1
        broadcast 192.168.1.255
        netmask 255.255.255.0

        up ifenslave bond0 eth0 eth1
        down ifenslave -d bond0 eth0 eth1
