*** Please type your report below this line ***

Hi,
I'm using a macbook (not pro) with sky2 ethernet driver.
When transfering a lot of data (divx/mp3 directory) the
kernel hags. The box is completly frozen (if you're listening
a mp3 file you will hear the last second of half second
repeat forever), the only way to stop the box is to press
the power button for 5 seconds.
I cant provide a kernel backtrace, nothing is printed.
