Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.38-5
Severity: normal

On my first ethernet connection after an upgrade from squeeze (2.6.35) to 
wheezy (2.6.38), I started 
seeing the sky2 errors shown below in the kernel log.  So far my internet is 
still working (I detect
a slight slowness but that's it).  Looks to be the same as Ubuntu bug 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/719873

Ethernet controller:
$lscpi
<snip>
Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8053 PCI-E Gigabit 
Ethernet Controller (rev 22)
</snip>

I'm on a MacBook Pro 1,1.
Please let me know if there's any other pertinent info I can give
