i'm tring new network driver sky2 in kernel 2.6.15-gentoo-r7 and sometime i have many problem using samba, distccd. There are no log in dmesg and /var/log/message watching with ethereal i can see many udp packet out of order. I don't know if this bug is for gentoo developer but they will see.
I have exactly the same problem... the drivers just stop.. To make it work again just by modprobe -r sky2 && modprobe sky2 I already test with httpd ftpd samba sshd ... and all cause this .. But no log at all.

I have spent some time debugging this, and found the old patch from syskonnect.de to be more useful. I have tried using ethtool to force flow control on, I have tried hacking the driver. sky2 seems very immature of a driver, absolutely no documentation what so ever. It handles packets horribly, and i'm sure it's due to the actual NIC itself, but that's never a solution. I have tried 2.6.16 and 2.6.16-r1 and found that eventually i get 'frame' count errors. Once those start, it all dies. So I can get maybe 2-3minutes of goodness. // paste eth0: Marvell Yukon 88E8053 Gigabit Ethernet Controller PrefPort:A RlmtMode:Check Link State ASUS P5LD2 Motherboard, with the most recent BIOS revision. // emerge info Portage 2.1_pre7-r3 (default-linux/x86/2006.0, gcc-3.4.6, glibc-2.4-r1, 2.6.15-gentoo-r7 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.15-gentoo-r7 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.12.0_pre16 dev-lang/python: 2.3.5-r2, 2.4.2-r1 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.11 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.91.0.4 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r3 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=pentium4 -O2" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /etc/mail/dspam /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /var/bind /var/qmail/control /var/run/dspam" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=pentium4 -O2" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks metadata-transfer parallel-fetch sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.mirrors.easynews.com/linux/gentoo/" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.namerica.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="... not worth pasting too many to count" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY I hope that syskonnect will update their driver for 2.6.16, or they fix sky2. Documentation would be wonderful, because it's obvious that even with no traffic except for 'ARP' traffic of the local subnet, this driver can't seem to hack it at all.
Scott: please don't be so negative. Syskonnect have done a bad job at maintaining quality in their drivers and the sky2 developer had to jump through many hoops before they provided any documentation whatsoever (this only happened very recently). Is your problem a regression in 2.6.16-r1, or was sky2 in gentoo-sources-2.6.16 (or older) also non-operational? Jo

Are you saying the network is hardly usable at all on this kernel, or does it work OK for a few minutes and then drop?
It looks like you are running VMware. Can you reproduce this with a standard non-tainted kernel?
same problem for me. new kernel without biuld (and start) vmware. samba don't work.
Stephen, FYI, gentoo-sources-2.6.16 included an unmodified sky2 (version stamp 0.15). After this bug report I patched sky2-1.1 into gentoo-sources-2.6.16-r1 I'm still waiting for someone to provide a full dmesg dump from 2.6.16-r1 so that I could have headed this your way.
how i can have a full dmesg dump
Boot 2.6.16-gentoo-r1, run "dmesg > out" and then attach the file named "out" to this bug.

Scott, is your problem a regression in 2.6.16-r1, or was sky2 in gentoo-sources-2.6.16 (or older) also non-operational?
at this moment, the 2.6.16-r2 seems to be working 'OK', it was actually a regression test, and I have 2.6.16-r1 and 2.6.16 also installed, but I was seeing if the new sky2 driver got in. Of course the kernel was also untainted from alsa, and nvidia and others so that also might be why. I'm going to do further research later tonight to determine if it was the tainted kernel modules that were causing the problem.

Here is the dmesg dump for gentoo-sources-2.6.16-r2.. The sky2 just dont work at all on this kernel.. Its worse than <=2.6.16 .. I cant even browse the net because it cant resolve a domain.. If you need I can post here a ethereal log....
Stephen, there's now one full report here you can look at. Jo
Stephen, there's now one full report here you can look at. João tested Gentoo's 2.6.15 kernel (which included sky2-0.15) which sort-of worked, but ran into occasional problems. João upgraded to a recent Gentoo 2.6.16 kernel which includes sky2-1.1 and it is now not even possible to establish a single connection. The hardware in question is: sky2 v1.1 addr 0xbc000000 irq 11 Yukon-FE (0xb7) rev 1 There is a full dmesg log in comment #18. Please let us know which other info we can provide you with.
There is a lot of interupt sharing occurring on these machines. Please try and reproduce it with 2.6.17-rc2. The version of sky2 in that release supports Message Signaled Interrupts, and that may reduce/avoid issues with lost interrupts. Also please check /proc/interrupts to make sure that the interrupt being used by sky2 is either MSI or level triggered.

The driver just does not work at all.. The only thing I can do is pump -ieth0 and then it froze.. I am currently using gentoo-sources-2.6.16 witch is the most stable version.. I hope this logs can help you Stephen.
The problem is that many devices are sharing the same interrupt, and the interrupt is getting programmed to edge triggered. You might investigate BIOS settings or it could be an ACPI bug. The relevant lines are in /proc/interrupts: 11: 27 XT-PIC uhci_hcd:usb3, uhci_hcd:usb4, uhci_hcd:usb5, yenta, sdhci:slot0, sdhci:slot1, sdhci:slot2, ohci1394, sky2 In dmesg output: ACPI: setting ELCR to 0200 (from 0c20) The ELCR register is the edge versus level triggered control register. For some reason, ACPI is deciding to set it 0200 which means only IRQ 9 is level triggered. Network devices using NAPI won't work with edge triggered interrupts and shared IRQ's won't work properly with edge triggered interrupts.

Scott, please attach /proc/interrupts

João, sorry for the inconvenience, but it is a little confusing working on this bug where there are many interleaved reports which are not necessarily the same bug. Could you open a new bug about your issue? We can then go from there, the problem is an ACPI/BIOS thing.

Stephen, Scott's problem appears to be different. Here's a quick summary: The driver works, but stops after a while. This was reproduced with sky2 v0.15 included in 2.6.16, and also with sky2 v1.1 which I took from 2.6.17-rc and included in Gentoo's 2.6.16 kernel. APIC is being used, and the interrupt is level triggered. There is some sharing going on, but it is not excessive. See comment #29 for /proc/interrupts. The hardware in question is: sky2 v1.1 addr 0xcaefc000 irq 17 Yukon-EC (0xb6) rev 2 See attachment #84603 [details] for a full dmesg dump. See comment #26 for a snippet of dmesg logs at the point of failure, with sky2 debugging enabled. I noticed that sky2 v1.2 entered Linus' tree today, with some possible fixes for edge triggered interrupts. Is it worth us testing those patches against this problem? Is there any other info we can provide?

Michele, Scott: Please retest with vanilla-sources-2.6.17_rc3. This includes some patches which might help.
HI am also encountering the same problem on my Intel iMac (EFI-based). I am using a vanilla 2.6.16 with the patch from the mactel-linux website at [1]. My problem is that all network stops working at some point in time (esp after an emerge --sync or opening multiple tabs in Firefox). I have found that restarting the net.eth0 service solves the issues until the next time it appears (generally some minutes after that). The issue started to appear some time ago after I moved to ~x86, it used to work fine previously (AFAIK). I am attaching my dmesg output, /proc/interrupts as well as my emerge info. I am going to ask the mactel-linux folks about the problem since they provided the patch and will stop bugging you unless you need more info :) [1] http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.cgi/mactel-linux/trunk/misc/misc/imac-2.6.16.patch?view=markup&rev=24

Hi i'm having problems with the sky2 driver as well, the sk98lin from skyconnect with worked flawlessly doesn't compile anymore. sky2 on 2.6.16-gentoo-r9 the entire computer crashes from time to time and lots of errors on the interface. sky2 on 2.6.17-rc5 the driver stops working after 1-3 days (works ok until it does), didn't try it as a module yet to see if unload/reload works, for now I reboot.....
Hi, I can confirm the issue is fixed by upgrading to sky v1.4. For those not able or interested to change kernel versions (esp if you are using an Intel iMac w/ patches applying on 2.6.16.1-vanilla), simply copy drivers/net/sky2* from 2.6.16-r8 into your old kernel tree and rebuid.
