Didn't work at all, no effect.

Using sk98lin this "almost" worked- brought the line up, got a
gigabit connection light on my switch, but trying to assign an IP to
the interface results in a kernel panic. Not good...

I see that the sky2 driver in 2.6.16rc4 lists my card, but for some
reason it fails to access the card, maybe because I have an ULi chipset?
