Title:
  Marvell 88E8055 PCI-E GbE not functional in 14.04 x86_64

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Since 12.04 32bit, the driver (sky2) for Marvell 88E8055 PCI-E GbE
  isn't functioning well as HWaddr 00:00:00:00:00:00. With a manual
  setting using 'ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:01:xx:xx:xx:xx' or 'ip link
  set eth0 addr 00:01:xx:xx:xx:xx' (numbers hidden) the device can be
  working. When I move to 14.04 64bit, this old trick doesn't work.
  Although one can still set the hw address and the LED blinks, no
  packet is transferred as seen with ifconfig. Now I run with 14.04
  32bit live iso, the old trick works.
