I was just about to send a similar reply when this message appeared :) Emil is correct, the upstream igb driver does not support this functionality, at least not yet, and currently your best bet is the sourceforge driver. As coincidence has it I am currently testing a patch that adds that functionality to the upstream igb driver and assuming it passes (so far looks good) we will probably push it to the net-next kernel in the near future. > > Hope this helps. > > Emil > > > > >Thanks. > >Andy > > > >------------------------------------------------------------ > >------------------ > >Learn the latest--Visual Studio 2012, SharePoint 2013, SQL 2012, more! > >Discover the easy way to master current and previous Microsoft > >technologies and advance your career.
