2.6.27-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Jeff Kirsher commit eb7c3adb1ca92450870dbb0d347fc986cd5e2af4 upstream. Some users reported that they have machines with BMCs enabled that cannot receive IPMI traffic after e1000e is loaded. http://marc.info/?l=e1000-devel&m=121909039127414&w=2 http://marc.info/?l=e1000-devel&m=121365543823387&w=2 This fixes the issue if they load with the new parameter = 0 by disabling crc stripping, but leaves the performance feature on for most users.
