Date: Mon, 9 Nov 2009 17:19:14 -0800 From: "Allan, Bruce W" <bruce.w.allan@...el.com> To: Nix <nix@...eri.org.uk>, "Tantilov, Emil S" <emil.s.tantilov@...el.com> CC: "e1000-devel@...ts.sourceforge.net" <e1000-devel@...ts.sourceforge.net>, "linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org" <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org> Subject: RE: [E1000-devel] [in-tree drivers] freezing e1000e in 2.6.31 (SMP only? MSI? PAUSE!) Not a fix, but a workaround. It's not your gigabit switch either; it's a bug in the driver introduced in 2.6.30...sorry about that. I'm working on a fix now that should be submitted upstream in the next few days. Sorry for any inconvenience, Bruce. >-----Original Message----- >From: Nix [mailto:nix@...eri.org.uk] >Sent: Monday, November 09, 2009 4:09 PM >To: Tantilov, Emil S >Cc: e1000-devel@...ts.sourceforge.net; linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org >Subject: Re: [E1000-devel] [in-tree drivers] freezing e1000e in 2.6.31 >(SMP only?
