Subject: sky bugs in 2.6.22-rc5

sky2 breaks reproducably in 2.6.22-rc5 when setting the interface
down and up again. Packets are not received on the other side,
after a short time tcpdump (on the sky2 side) shows
use-after-free patterns:

        0x0050:  5a5a                                     ZZ



Additionally I get this oops when using netconsole and setting
the device down and up again:

The reason for the second problem seems to be that sky2 enables
the queue too early and netconsole sends packets before
initialization is complete when sky2_up() prints a message.
