Please don't apply this patch. We have taken this offline at the moment to work this out with the OEM, Aculab. They have made modification to how the Intel controller operates which may make it have problems with the normal e1000 driver. We are in contact with both Mark and Aculab about this offline. The last thing Aculab talked to us about was to make sure that the normal Intel e1000 drivers did _not_ work with their hardware, hence the device ID change. We'll continue this on this thread if this turns out not to be the case. We (Intel) also don't know exactly how they changed the behavior of the hardware which is another topic for us to talk about.
Thanks. -- Cheers, John - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
