Subject: [net-2.6 PATCH] e1000e: do not initiate autonegotiation during OEM
	configuration

From: Bruce Allan <bruce.w.allan@...el.com>

When configuring the OEM bits in the PHY on 82577/82578, do not restart
autonegotiation if the firmware is blocking it (e.g. when an IDE-R session
is active) because the link must not go down.
