Bug Description
Binary package hint: linux-image-
It seems I've uncovered a major bug in the skge driver, which is used by my Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8001 Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 13) network interface card.
The bug is easily shown with the following console command:
$ curl http://
The download of that page suddenly halts at exactly the same point every single time. I've been unable to reproduce the bug on Windows on the same PC, as well as on my other Ubuntu 7.04 box which uses the same kernel, but uses the Atheros driver. I've thus come to the conclusion that skge is the culprit here.
I unfortunately can't give any more information than this at the present time ; nothing shows up neither syslog or dmesg about any kind of problem.

Here are the usual files that are usually requested: lspci, dmesg and lshal.
