Any chance that the fixes in the (latest) e1000 driver version
7.1.9-k4 will get backported?

I can't run 2.6.17.7 on at least one of my servers due to bugs in the
driver that are fixed in the latest e1000 version.
I looked through the -stable patches but didn't find anything that
would fix my problem.
I get messages along the lines of "kernel: Virtual device XXX asks to
queue packet!" and the device then refuses to work.
The last kernel where I know for a fact that it worked OK is 2.6.11,
so that's what the server is currently running.

Getting the fix for that problem backported to -stable would really make my day.
