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:

sorry - SK-9844, not 9872.

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
