Has there been any updates on a fix for the sky2 tx timeout issues?
I have been tracking this problem for a while and consistently see this
issue when the interface is under heavy load. I'm using 2.6.17.11 but
have
tried .15, .16, .17 and .18rcX all with the same issue - a large amount
of
(HTTP generated test workload) traffic will cause the driver to stop
responding, report an error (as below)
and the machine to "hang" for about 20 seconds. As others have mentioned,
a
down/up of the interface will recover until it locks up again. The dmesg
output for me is usually something like:
sky2 eth1: tx timeout
sky2 eth1: transmit ring 397 .. 356 report=399 done 399
sky2 status report lost?
I have also tried the new transmit code that was supplied earlier in this
thread without improvement of this situation.
Any help appreciated.,
Are you running ipv6? there was just a fix where ipv6 was sending
the hardware bad data?

help solve this issue?
