I've experienced the same problem. It's caused by the sky2 driver. You should download the official driver for your hardware and patch your kernel. Afterwards you should disable sky2 and skge so they won't be loaded. As far as I know there is no other way.
Download the latest driver from here: http://www.marvell.com/drivers/search.do Search for: Product category: PC connectivity Product family: Yukon Platform: Linux Kernel 2.4.20 & Higher You also need the kernel source. Using the official driver I've experienced no problems whatsoever, even when downloading large amounts of data. -- Marvell 88E8056 crashes Kubuntu Feisty system https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/104929 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
