sky2 seems to be kind of touchy with different chipsets. I have a circa |
| 19 |
2008 Mac Mini running CentOS (so it's got whatever voodoo magic |
| 20 |
backported version of sky2 that RedHat included) and it was giving me |
| 21 |
all sorts of grief with hangup/reset issues (apparently related to |
| 22 |
issues with bridged connections). I also have a Gentoo box with 2 NICs |
| 23 |
(one being an 88E8053, just like the Mac Mini) that was having issues |
| 24 |
with large transfers on the sky2 connection years ago so I switched over |
| 25 |
to the other NIC. |

Good luck with your search. |
