[Bug 38865] Re: sky2 driver freezing system after ifdown and ifup

[Ben Collins]

I have test packages for dapper to see if this "fix" works. It's not
really a fix. I forward ported the sk98lin driver from breezy into
dapper, and disabled the sky2 driver.

If you would like to test this for me, there are -386 and -k7 packages
available at:

http://people.ubuntu.com/~bcollins/kernels/sk98lin-dapper/

Since this is not an ABI bump, this should work with current linux-
restricted-modules and friends.

Sorry, I removed the -686 kernel without thinking and don't want to go
through a build again. You just need to test the -386 image anyway. Test
-k7 if you have an AMD and just feel the need.

WARNING: These are not well tested packages. There's a lot of fixes in
there totally unrelated to sky2/sk98lin. It should work fine, but use at
your own risk. Make sure you have an alternate way to boot to an older
kernel. This will replace your currently installed kernel.
