There is no point in reporting wishlist bugs against Stable kernels,
they are not going to be fixed because Sarge is stable.

IMO they both suck. With my onboard Marvell, it is not detected by the
old kernel driver and has been detected only one by the Syskonnect's
driver. But: the new sky2 driver in kernel 2.6.16 (at least in -rc4)
works really good now.
