I tested this and it's still horribly broken for me with Gigabyte
88E8056 onboard LAN. Same symptom as before, it works for several
seconds and then dies.

It's almost certainly a problem with the BIOS and hardware (not a sky2)
driver issue. Since there are many similar boards and configurations, I made
the decision not to enforce restrictions in the driver.
