Actually, it's not. After producing a bit of traffic, we still see the
same issue with the other hardware. It is therefore not likely to be a
real hardware fault in the sense that a specific appliances is broken.

Even after disabling the sky2_phy_power_down call in sky2_down, I get
the oops on restarting the interfaces:

Thus, there really seems to be an uncaught case in sky2.c. When
sky2_phy_power_down is not called, chip should not go down, right? But
still sky2_poll seems to be called (maybe by an interrupt belonging to
another network interface but the same chip)?

Any other hints?
