[PATCH] sky2: 88E803X transmit lockup
The reason sky2 driver was locking up on transmit on the Yukon-FE chipset is that it was misconfiguring the internal RAM buffer so the transmitter and receiver were sharing the same space. The code assumed there was 16K of RAM on Yukon-FE (taken from vendor driver sk98lin which is even more f*cked up on this). Then it assigned based on that. The giveaway was that the registers would only hold 9bits so both RX/TX had 0..1ff for space. It is a wonder it worked at all! This patch addresses this, and fixes an easily reproducible hang on Transmit. Only the Yukon-FE chip is Marvell 88E803X (10/100 only) are affected.
