Marvel Yukon using the sk driver

[Nikolay Mirin]

Hi, what I can tell.
I had a terrible problem with this card (PCI-E version) exactly one week 
ago. Both drivers msk from the system and myk from the vendor show 
similar behavior.
On high loads, like 2-3 users from Samba domain pulling their profiles 
at the same time, the card just chokes. No ping, and
"buffer overflow message".
I mean I had to bring the interface down and up again. Absolutely 
disgusting.
No tweak helps.

I mean, we tested it over the weekend and it was fine, till folks come 
there on Monday and start massively using the server.

We downgraded the hardware and put good old 3Com509 PCI or whatever 
works with xl driver.
