This device is handled by skge, so it is not the same device affected by
this bug.  Anyway, I would say this is not even the same bug as that
originally reported.  These log messages:

> [459277.144466] sky2 eth0: rx length error: status 0x5660100 length 2758
> [459456.017982] eth0: hw csum failure.
[...]

show a checksum failure reported 3 minutes after the length mismatch
error.  Also you say:

so I assume that the interface stops passing traffic, whereas the
original report said that it kept working.

If you can still reproduce this problem you should make a separate bug
report.
