Subject: [patch] Current sky2 driver from GIT backported to 2.6.15-1 (FC5)

Hi Stephen, list;

  Patch attached backports the current sky2 driver in GIT to 2.6.15-1.
 This version works, I don't know if I'm missing anything crucial in
the port.

  It also seems to alleviate problems we have been experiencing (and
are well documented in various forums/lists online) where the ethernet
device would become unresponsive under moderate to heavy loads and
require restarting the interface to come back up.  I found a lot of
(recent) discourse about these problems and as such figured the port
might have some use in the public domain.

  I apologize in advance if gmail incorrectly mails my patch.

Cheers,
Tom Burns
