It might be worth replacing the sky2 driver with the newest bleeding
edge one over here:
http://developer.osdl.org/shemminger/prototypes/sky2-1.0msi.tar.gz
You might also want to check the developer's blog entry:

sky2 1.0?
Looks like a found the root cause of the sky2 hangs on pci-express. I
copied some code from the SysKonnect driver that reconfigured the
pci-express max request size. This probably caused receive dma engine to
fail in face of contention. That will teach me to stop copy/pasting in
bugs.

It might fix some of you issues ..

For those of us that just want something working now:
Patch up using the latest sk98lin patch generator.. then edit
drivers/net/sk98lin/sky2.c and add this line:
#include "h/skdrv1st.h"
#include "h/skdrv2nd.h"
#include <linux/tcp.h>
#include <linux/ip.h> <-- ADD THIS
It will build fine and seems to work just fine until syskonnect
releases a new revision
