Subject: sky2 still badly broken

dmesg is full of

dhcp does not work (after a few minutes it does not renew the ip)

while under heavy load the card resets and I have to unload and reload 
the module

also transfer rate is VERY low.

lowering the mtu does help a bit, but it doesn't make miracles...

kernel 3.4.0-rc4
