You are a regular reader of linux-kernel, and therefore the sk98lin
removal can hardly be a surprise for you. If you prefer whining over
helping to improve the kernel that's your choice...
I've been trying to migrate off sk98lin to skge since earlier this year,
without success, starting with 2.6.18 or .19.
I have several of these cards in production using the sk98lin driver:
fresno:~# lspci -vv -s 02:01
02:01.0 Ethernet controller: SysKonnect SK-9872 Gigabit Ethernet Server Adapter (SK-NET GE-ZX dual link) (rev 11)

They are dual port SX fiber. Both ports are connected. If I do this:
fresno:~# modprobe skge
fresno:~# ip li set eth2 up
fresno:~# ip li set eth2 down
fresno:~# ip li set eth3 up
the system locks up and I have to power cycle it. The order doesn't
matter (if I do eth3 up/down, then eth2 up kills it).
I don't have any problems with sk98lin. This works fine:
fresno:~# modprobe sk98lin RlmtMode=DualNet
fresno:~# ip li set eth2 up
fresno:~# ip li set eth2 down
fresno:~# ip li set eth3 up
fresno:~# ip li set eth3 down
I am more than happy to test various driver changes, and have tried a few
suggested patches but nothing has worked so far. I would like to be using
skge instead of sk98lin, but so far haven't had any success.
Please test 2.6.24-rc1 (or -rc2) because there were several fixes for skge
that made it work correctly for dual port fiber board. The worst bug in skge
was that it configured the ram buffer incorrectly.
I just submitted these for next 2.6.23.X stable release as well
I tested 2.6.24-rc1. This series of commands
fresno:~# modprobe skge
fresno:~# ip li set eth2 up
fresno:~# ip li set eth2 down
fresno:~# ip li set eth3 up
still hard-locks the box in the same place. Was there anything in the
-rc2 patch for skge?
