Comment 17 for bug 135316

I sent a Spears laptop to Stephan Hemminger this morning via FedEx for overnight delivery with Amit's approval to do so. Stephan has released 1.18 of the sky2 driver that supports the 11ab:4354 part, but it has serious performance problems. I've verified the hardware is sane by running the sk98lin driver from Marvell. I was able to achieve near line rate reception.
