    Ok. drivers/net/skge has been broken for several weeks. I have manually
    fixed the driver at each rc* release since then.

    Please revert skge changes, the commit that broke driver is
    7fb7ac241162dc51ec0f7644d4a97b2855213c32

    See
    http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9321

    for more information. I think Stephen Hemminger is working on the skge
    fix, but it has been several days since I've heard anything from him.
