Most of these patches shouldn't address anything that would trigger Tx
hangs. They are mostly related to just link detection.

Really a question like this probably belongs on e1000-devel or
intel-wired-lan so I have added those lists and the e1000e maintainer
to the thread.

It would be useful if you could provide more information about the
device itself such as the ID and the kind of test you are running.
Keep in mind the e1000e driver supports a pretty broad swath of
devices so we need to narrow things down a bit.
