I get the impression that sky2 has never worked for you. Is that
correct? There was an skge problem I noticed a while ago where on reset
the multicast membership list was cleared.

[PATCH] skge: don't clear MC state on link down
I would rather fix Andy's problem by not clearing
multicast information on link down.
Also, add code to restore multicast state after ethtool phy reset.

A patch Having this list cleared could stop you from receiving 802.3ad
PDUs. I'll check skge and see if it has the same problem (I'm betting
on it).
