Subject: sky2 tx watchdog timeout with 1Gb speed

hi all,

I switched my home pc from 100Mb/s to 1000Mb/s and I see 
this warning below.

The original kernel was 2.6.39.4 then I tested 3.1.1 with the same
result. (self compiled 32bit vanilla). The workaround is to force 10/100 speed
on my new switch (hp).

Any suggestion ? As I said its home machine so I can test what you want :-).
