Subject: [PATCH] [2.6.25-rc2] igb: Fix panic with NICs with 1000BASE-SX PHY

From: Bill Hayes <bill.hayes@...com>

Auke, Jeff and David,

This patch eliminates a kernel panic with the igb driver in 2.6.25-rc2 when 
running on a Intel 82575 Ethernet controller with a 1000BASE-SX PHY.  The 
panic does not happen with the 1000BASE-T PHY, only with a SX connection.
