The motherboards sk doesn't work reliably on my Asus k8v-se-d amd64
either.  Packets flow normally until you push it hard.  Then it wedges
and needs an "ifconfig down", "ifconfig up" to get unstuck.

I couldn't decide if it was a design problem with the hardware or a
problem with the driver so I bought two PCI sk cards.  They work just
fine (well, modulo a few timeouts around startup time).  I'm leaning
towards a mobo design bug.
