Hi,
I upgraded recently my Macbook Pro to gentoo-sources 2.6.31 and I have
annoying network hiccups which I didn't have with the old 2.6.24.

b.g.o. and google return me something on sky2-related hiccups, but only
related to very old kernels (<2.6.23), but maybe you know better.

(Hopefully) relevant infos below, I hope someone can give me some hint
about this problem. Thanks!
