sky2 hangs with 2.6.16-rc3

Hello,

I'm seeing reproducable hangs with the new sky2 of 2.6.16-rc3 on my Marvel 
88E8053.

Basically the driver runs fine, but when transfering large amounts of data 
(e.g. rsyncing between two local machines), network hangs after some time 
(few minutes). dmesg doesn't give any messages. Removing the sky2 module and 
modprobing it back in cures the hang, i.e. transfer continues until the next 
hang.

I've attached my .config, lspci -xv output and dmesg. The last messages in 
dmesg come from rmmod and modprobing the sky2 module.

Since I can reproduce the hang quite well, I'd very much like to help debug 
this, so if there is more info I should provide, please tell me how to.

Bye,
Wolfgang

You should send your experiences and information to Stephen Hemminger 
(the driver author) while CC'ing the netdev list. It is also preferable 
to attach things uncompressed.

Thanks for the advice, Daniel.
I've now done so, and filed #6084 to kernel bugzilla, uncompressed attachments 
there.
