sky2 driver hangs / softlockup

[Anders]

Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.20

Similar behaviour to Bug #68338. Computer was hung when I got back, but from the syslog file it appears it kept writing -- MARK -- entries while 'dead':

I believe this bug is duplicate with this one https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/83009/

Also I have the same issue with integrated NIC in Asus P5W DH motherboard. Since upgrade to the kernel 2.6.20 I am unable to boot - driver hangs all the time.

I have this same issue with an Intel Mac Mini with the Sky2 Driver
