Message-ID: <6278d2220808250742r4a2b377al13a516fa0c6b53a9@mail.gmail.com> Date: Mon, 25 Aug 2008 15:42:58 +0100 From: "Daniel J Blueman" <daniel.blueman@...il.com> To: "Linux Netdev" <netdev@...r.kernel.org>, "Linux Networking" <linux-net@...r.kernel.org> Subject: [sky2, solved] transmit timeouts and firmware update... I (and a lot of other users) have been experiencing the frequent sky2 transmit timeout problem [1] (on 88E8053/Yukon2 EC gig hardware); this is a result of the embedded NIC controller locking up, and I've found that updating the firmware addresses this issue. I'm still seeing a previous and different issue [2] from time to time though (silicon bug?). Marvell shipping broken firmware is completely unpublicised or acknowledged, however updated firmware is available through your motherboard vendor, so all hope it not lost after all... My 8053/EC is using firmware 2.2 (previously 1.9) - you can check in DOS with 'yukondg.exe' from http://www.marvell.com/drivers/files/yukondg_v6.53.4.3.zip .
