Title: Sky2 ethernet failing randomly with Marvell 88E8056 gigabit Status in Linux: Invalid Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in linux-source-2.6.22 package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.22 Since Ubuntu Feisty the sky2 ethernet adapters have not been stable. Also after the bugfixes in kernel 2.6.22-11.32 (which is my current kernel) the failures continue to happen. Earlier on the problem appeared while doing big file transfers (>1 GB), as of 2.6.22-11.32 it now looks more like random freezes (without traffic). Doing a restart of the network (/etc/init.d/networking restart) does not work. As I have two sky2 adapters available, switching over to the other plug brings the network back up. When also this one fails, I have to resort to a reboot. In the the dmesg log I find usually the following information after a crash: [ 8767.471702] eth1: hw csum failure.
