Subject: [net-2.6 PATCH] igb: use correct bits to identify if managability is
	enabled

From: Alexander Duyck <alexander.h.duyck@...el.com>

igb was previously checking the wrong bits in the MANC register to determine
if managability was enabled.  As a result it was incorrectly powering down and
resetting the phy when it didn't need to.
