This patch at first behaved similarly to the previous one - seemed to be
running a bit better... until the adapter went down :(

This is the syslog output at the time the network failed:
Jan  6 14:11:01 mail kernel: sky2 0000:06:00.0: error interrupt
status=0x40000008
Jan  6 14:11:01 mail kernel: sky2 software interrupt status 0x40000008
     

Could you go back to baseline sky2 driver.  The display code might be buggy.
These bits indicate an error in the MAC. The interrupt source enabled
is Transmit FIFO underrun.

Looking at how vendor driver handles this.
It looks like the Yukon EC_U chip doesn't really do Jumbo frames correctly.
Maybe not enough internal buffering to ensure that the whole packet
is in the chip.  Of course, none of this is in the chip manual.

Does this help
