If the e1000 guys need any assistance testing, I'll be more than happy to volunteer myself as a guinea pig for patches.I wasn't aware that I was supposed to post this as a regression, so changed the subject, hoping that someone will pick this up and run with it. Primary issue being that link is not seen on this chipset under 2.6.20-rc5 via in-tree e1000 driver, despite multiple cycles of ifconfig $eth up && ethtool $eth | grep link && ifconfig $eth down. Tested on 2 machines with identical hardware.
but for now I'll treat the link issue as a known regression once I confirm it. If others have seen it then I'd like to know ASAP of course
I am experiencing the no-link issue on a 82572EI single port copper
PCI-E card. I've only tried 2.6.20-rc5, so I cannot tell if this is a
regression or not yet. Will test older kernel soon.
Can provide details/logs if you want 'em.
