Subject: [2.6.17-rc3][sky2] Network stalls/drops completely

(plain text this time)

Hi Stephen,

We just got some new boxes and they have a sky2 nic onboard. The card seems ok but over time I start to get network drops. Also, If I restart the network I deadlocked the kernel unfortunately I don't have a stack dump of the crash.

I see you've made some changes in -git perhaps I should try a git snapshot to see if the sky2 issues have been fixed?

Thanks,

Shawn.

80-column mails would be good too :)

You could try sky2 v1.3-rc1:
