As you can see, this problem is also in kubuntu as well.
was told in the irc channel, that sk98lin driver is better, and sky2, has bugs..
well, it does have bugs, since downloading large files, 600 megs iso images,
it will stall out about a 1/3 of the way... even when going direct connect to the cable modem, and by-passing the linksys router, still it will hang and stall out, an I can't even ping the modem, can not get out until I do a reboot of the laptop. please fix this.
Why is it taking so long for someone to review this bug???
Thanks -
