Subject: e1000e: reset of tx_queue_len

Hi all,

while working on a new server, I noticed that tx_queue_len is reset
to the default of 1000 while ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE).
This happens with 2.6.30.8, but I could not see any obvious
differences to the current state of e1000e, while trying to find the
problem in the code.

The interface has been configured including a customized qlen
via /etc/network/interfaces. The ports are not connected at startup
so obviously the Kernel reports

ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth2: link is not ready

while ifconfig properly displays the customized qlen.

When plugging the server tx_queue_len is reset to 1000.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Franco
