Subject: sky2 rx length errors

Hi,

I have a Marvell onboard NIC (88E8053) and I've been noticing for a
while now a bit weird behavior with the sky2 driver. This mostly
occurs with newer kernels (2.6.30, 2.6.31) and my older distro kernel
(2.6.27.21) does not seem to have the same problem. Basically, the
sky2 driver will randomly and unpredictably spew rx length error
messages and reboot itself. I also noticed in dmesg that this mostly
occurs after "martian destination" messages. After this message, sky2
starts spewing messages as shown below and then reboots itself. It is
not really a big problem for me, but since I'm virtually always logged
in in IRC, the client always loses connection, waits for a few minutes
to get a response from the server and then relogs me again. I do not
think it's a HW problem as the Marvell NIC otherwise works perfectly
and I've checked my cable modem too which operates without a problem.
Any ideas?

PS: please cc me as I'm not subscribed to the mailing list
