I mean, with my Sony Vaio VGN-SZ1VP (here[1] you can find all hardware details), it's enough some mega of udp traffic, usually nfs, to "freeze" the network. Well, no complain from the kernel. It's enough to rmmod and modprobe sky2 to fix the problem. I already tried -mm1, but nothing changed. In the meanwhile I will continue to use my usb network card.
