Ok. drivers/net/skge has been broken for several weeks. I have manually 
fixed the driver at each rc* release since then.

Please revert skge changes, the commit that broke driver is
7fb7ac241162dc51ec0f7644d4a97b2855213c32

See

for more information. I think Stephen Hemminger is working on the skge 
fix, but it has been several days since I've heard anything from him.
