The issue remains. Recently I have switched over to the Sky2 proprietary
driver under Unbuntu Gutsy. This has worked pretty stable for a while.

However when I changed back from a direct cable between the Broadcom
Sky2 adapter to a longer cable with wall plug, things started to become
troublesome again. It seems wire quality causes can cause big problems
in the adapter when running a 1 gb network. Usually the problem is so
severe that reseting the system does not work. A full cold reboot is
necessary to regain connectivity.

My conclusion for now is that this hardware is unstable with both open
source and proprietary drivers under Linux.
