marvel ethernet stops working

Also seems to be a problem with inux-image-2.6.15-23-k8.

I have the same problem with marvell on asus AV8ESE mainboard. With -k8 AND -i386 kernel package :(

This problem does not exists in 2.6.15-22-* !!!

Just after boot, network is ok for 3 or 4 minutes, then nothing :( rmmod sky2 && modprobe sky2 then network is okay for 2 or 3 minutes then goto rmmod && modprobe !

Could i send more informations ? dmesg / kernel log ?

Seems to have been fixed with yesterday's kernel update.

Perhaps I spoke too soon. But it seems to be an odd problem. For
example, I can ping google.com or my.yahoo.com and reach anything on my
local network but pop mail and web browsing are dead. There's no such
problem with linux-image-2.6.15-22-k7.

I can confirm this bug with fresh install of ubuntu 6.06 on Asus P5LD2 motherboard which has Marvell Yukon NIC. Network connection sometimes just freezes. It is rather strange freeze, because I can ping all addresses, but I can't get HTTP response from them. I haven't tried a new kernel. Anyway, I just want to confirm this problem.

Please do not add uneeded targets.

Well, kernel image 2.6.15-22-k7 appears to have the same problem albeit, much less frequent (at least in my experience). So the problem must be the sky2 module. I have disabled it at instead installed sk98lin. So far so good.

This bug has had no activity for a considerable period. This is a check to see if there is still interest in investigating this bug report.
