I'm having trouble here too. Using an Ubuntu Gutsy kernel:
Linux andy-desktop 2.6.22-10-generic #1 SMP Wed Aug 22 07:42:05 GMT 2007 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I'm not getting tx timeouts AFAIK. I'm not getting any driver crash dumps either. I'm just having connection issues. I'm not transferring anything big. I will be browsing the web, then all of a sudden the interface will get in some type of corrupted state where nothing works. Sometimes ifdown/ifup will do it, sometimes it will not. Sometimes dhclient works, sometimes not. Unloading sky2 and reloading it *always* fixes the problem, indicating some type of issue with the "current state" of the driver. Maybe a variable not getting cleared/etc but I can only guess.
Sometimes ifdown/ifup will work and then it will only work for about a minute. Redoing ifdown/ifup will make sky2 work for another few hours (it's like refilling your gas tank, just on a smaller level ;)).
Sometimes I will get Destination Host Unreachable from pinging my router, sometimes ping says nothing at all.
I tried with the modprobe sky2 debug=16 option but the log output looks not much different from when the adapter is working. And, I haven't caught it just when it stopped working, yet. I have only turned on my monitor to notice that my net wasn't working and then dumped a few logs of it. In any case, I don't think they're helpful but if you need them I will gladly post them.
Most importantly, this is a regression from 2.6.20. I hope this can get fixed and if so I'll notify those at Ubuntu and get this into the kernel and hopefully an exception for it if necessary.
