Re: Kernel v3.0.8 igb driver dies when pulling network cable

It would be useful if you could try the latest driver from e1000.sf.net
just to verify if this is a bug in the upstream kernel or if it is also
present in our e1000.sf.net.driver. This way we can figure out if this
is an issue where a patch wasn't pushed into the stable kernel or if it
is an issue that still exists in our latest release.

Also could you provide us with the part number you are currently using.
If you could provide us with the device ID for the part via lspci we can
start narrowing down the root cause for the issue as currently we don't
have any information about what hardware you are experiencing this issue on.

Ok another note i missed last time. Ethernet and Server stays fully functional - it just prints the message and resets the adapter.

OK let's start with lspci:

Using the latest stable igb driver from e1000.sf.net works fine without any message.

Thanks,
