Subject: [REGRESSION] e1000e probe/link detection fails since 6.2 kernel

Hi,

we've got a regression report for e1000e device on Lenovo T460p since
6.2 kernel (with openSUSE Tumbleweed).  The details are found in
  https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1209254

It seems that the driver can't detect the 1000Mbps but only 10/100Mbps
link, eventually making the device unusable.

The same problem persists with 6.3-rc3.

Can you guys check what can go wrong, or if there is a fix?


Thanks!
