The sk98lin driver is now superseded by the skge driver. I wanted to just let the old driver wither and die from old age, but there are still bugs that are too painful to fix.
See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6780 The board crashes repeatedly after 2 weeks. It probably is something in the vendor MIB code. That code is a mess, and starting over was one of the motivations for creating the skge driver. So rather than add more bondo to the old beater to cover the rusty bits, throw it in the dustbin.
