The only known outstanding problems on 2.62.22.6 of
sky2 are:
* problems with fibre PHY based systems
* suspend/resume issues, missing multicast
reinitalization, etc.
The previous stability problems have been addressed.
I pretty much agree with everything said, including
the part about the sky2 people working hard on it. I
have noticed several bugs fixed recently in the driver
source.
However, it really DOES lock up under load. I even
tried 2.6.23-rc4 and the absolute latest version of
the
driver and it still locks up, as in
eth1: hw csum failure.
I checnged from the sk98lin to the previous driver Adrian said was the
"right one," skge IIRC. Then he started pushing sky2, and I tried that.
Like you I get hangs, but unlike you the system doesn't hang, just the
NIC. No errors, warnings, and reboot fixes it. Acts as if the cable were
pulled.
That was with 2.6.22.5 (or so), dropped back to an old kernel with
sk98lin, previously had uptimes in three digit days. Up for a week or so
now.
Haven't tried later kernels, don't intend to, while no network is really
secure, it not really useful.
