From http://www.krose.org/~krose/computing.html:
Since the sky2 driver continues to suck ass (which is a technical
description for "it hangs all the time under load, at least on my
hardware" :-) ), I've fixed the sk98lin driver to compile for
linux-2.6.23-rc1. Those who continue to have problems with sky2 can
still use 2.6.23-rc1, simply by doing the following:
Bless you, extends my update capability for another version. ;-)
However, Ingo posted a patch for the thread "network dies after random
time" which probably didn't make it into rc1. In all fairness applying
that might fix the problem, it's possible if unlikely that the new
driver tickles a bug the stable sk98lin driver didn't.
Does skge work for your hardware? Based on a sample size of one (four to
go) everything worked for me except NFS, jumbo packets work with tcp,
not with udp. I don't have everything nailed down enough for a proper
bug report, it's just something to note. In truth there's little to
choose between tcp and udp for machines in the same room, I could live
with skge.
haven't tried shy2, there was a build failure on my last server build,
won't look at it until Monday.
