Bug#391382: linux-image-2.6.17-2-k7: Network sky2 driver stops working under load
Package: linux-image-2.6.17-2-k7
Version: 2.6.17-9
Severity: normal
The Sky2 driver stops working while under load after some time. I get the following messages:
sky2 eth0: rx error, status 0x7ffc0001 length 932
sky2 eth0: rx error, status 0x7ffc0001 length 932
sky2 eth0: rx error, status 0x7ffc0001 length 932
A ping to an other server results in Destination Host not Reachable from my local machine.
You can solve this situation by bringing down the interface, unloading the driver, loading the driver
again and bringing up the interface. Just cycling the interface down and up is not enough.
You get the following messages by doing this. First was cycling down and up. Second was down, reload
driver and bringing network up again.
