Description: I don't have a proper network connection due Marvell Yukon 88E8056 issue on Gigabyte Mainboards, Well it works but not properly, i have to reconnect (2x/etc/rc.d/network restart) after some traffic). D*mn it's bad to make every time that every half of minute.


Additional info: I found something like that from gentoo bugs: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=176219
It seems that they have 99% same problem as i do.

I can't post my lspci and other files because my connection doesn't work :( , we should use the gentoo patch :/
This task depends upon

patching file drivers/net/sky2.c
Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected! Skipping patch.

those nics had some issues, first they disabled them completly now they enabled them partly again.
Your patching meands it's still on the same status as the patch would do it, so nothing new on it.
