The original problem I reported is half-resolved with kernel 2.6.15-25 (386 and 686) and sky2 driver version 1.4. After rebooting Ubuntu, the interface works fine.
However, the interface doesn't work with a warm boot of Windows XP after shutting down Ubuntu. Of course, it could be argued this is a problem with Windows, but fair's fair: the problem doesn't happen in reverse, i.e., the interface works with a wam boot of Ubuntu after shutting down Windows. -- [sky2] Marvell ethernet interface doesn' t work after reboot https://launchpad.net/bugs/39862 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
