I am running 2.6.20.4 X86-64 kernel With best regards, P. Trifonov I bet you have 88e8056 chip. There is some problem with the bus interface and the sky2 driver (and the vendor sk98lin driver), that causes all sorts of out of order device access problems. Still investigating For 2.6.21, I ended up blacklisting this version of the chip until the problem is resolved. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe netdev in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

Dear Stephen, I bet you have 88e8056 chip. There is some problem with the Yes. bus interface and the sky2 driver (and the vendor sk98lin driver), that causes all sorts of out of order device access problems. Still investigating Windows driver works perfectly with it... I can give you SSH access to that box if this can help you. With best regards, P.
