Ah ha, the sky2 ethernet driver even in 2.6.18.1 is still not quite
100% stable, it had locked up earlier today and as a result something
was wrong with firewall or network, I rebooted and it works now.

The driver is getting better in each kernel release, its not done that
for quite a while since I upgraded to .1 :)
