[Bug 138611] Re: Sky2 ethernet failing randomly with Marvell 88E8056 gigabit

[Brian Long]

I've installed the 2.6.27-2-generic kernel from the Intrepid debs and
I'm still having sky2 issues.  If I right-click on the nm-applet,
uncheck "Enable Networking" and re-check it, my link comes back up.

I'm running the Abit P5K Pro motherboard with the following device:
02:00.0 0200: 11ab:4364 (rev 12)
	Subsystem: 1043:81f8
	Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B-
	Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR-
	Latency: 0, Cache Line Size: 32 bytes
	Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 219
	Region 0: Memory at feafc000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
	Region 2: I/O ports at d800 [size=256]
	Expansion ROM at feac0000 [disabled] [size=128K]
	Capabilities: <access denied>

I'm going to update my motherboard BIOS to see if that helps the
situation.  I'll also contact ASUS to see if there is a NIC firmware
update I can apply as mentioned in another comment (no update is
mentioned on their website for this motherboard).
