Ming, Thanks for looking into this. I'm not sure I follow the relevancy of a couple things: - The upstream discussion seems to have gotten rerouted to solving the problem for ACPI, but this issue is regarding device-tree (as was your patch), since that is what Ubuntu/m400 uses. I'm having trouble seeing how the ACPI solution helps us. - I'm confident I reproduced this problem with all upstream bits after PCI was merged. Therefore my assumption was that this issue is independent of PCI stack choice. Do you believe that the solution for the upstream PCI stack is different than the solution for the APM PCI stack? In general I'm OK with a revert of c7a4a7658d689f6 for utopic, as long as we have a plan for an upstream answer for vivid and beyond (>= 3.19). I don't think the kernel team would support a plan that involves carrying this revert indefinitely (if that's what you're suggesting, I'm not sure it is). -dann > Thanks, > > ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Utopic) > Assignee: (unassigned) => Ming Lei (tom-leiming) > > -- > You received this bug notification because you are subscribed to the bug > report. > https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1386490 > > Title: > HP ProLiant m400 nic doesn't work after trusty > > To manage notifications about this bug go to: > https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1386490/+subscriptions -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1386490 Title: HP ProLiant m400 nic doesn't work after trusty To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1386490/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
