mskc0: Tx descriptor error

[Lhunath (Maarten B.)]

Hey,

I'm having problems getting my Marvell Yukon to work.  I can successfully get it set up using DHCP, but when I start using it, I get error messages such as: "mskc0: Tx descriptor error" and "msk0: watchdog timeout".  This is using the msk(4) module from 8.0-RELEASE.

A bit of googling indicates that this problem is not uncommon, but had each time been resolved by patches that appear to have already been applied to the msk module that I'm using.

Some help would be appreciated.  Here is the ''dmesg'' output with bootverbose on and a ''vmstat -i'' should it matter.

From dmesg:
