At this point it continually invokes the "#1" block because the msk_control from msk_stat_ring[512] is always zero and the network hangs immediately. This suggests the Yukon Ultra 2 88E8057 can't access the next 4096 memory block, but why not?

This worked for the first kernel built but mysteriously failed when another unrelated part of the kernel was changed (a usb driver) and the kernel recompiled. So identical msk driver code worked in one kernel but not the second! This suggested that alignment differences between the two kernels were causing the msk driver to fail. Others have reported varying behaviour depending on different circumstances.

Just tried 10.2-RC1 amd64 GENERIC, and the problem seems to be gone. I
was even able to scp a 500 MB file. Could it be related to this fix in
BETA2, as mentioned in the announcement, "The watchdog(4) device has
been fixed to print to the correct buffer."?
