Subject: [PATCH 1/2] sky2: FE+ vlan workaround

The FE+ workaround means the driver can no longer trust the status register
to indicate VLAN tagged frames.  The fix for this is to just disable VLAN
acceleration for that chip version. Tested and works fine.

This patch applies to 2.6.23-rc8 after yesterday's patch:
      sky2 FE+ receive status workaround
