Re: [E1000-devel] [PATCH] RX initialization sequence fixed - enableRX after corresponding ring initialization only

[Dmitry Fleytman]

Thanks, Jeff

According to what we see this problem is very old and exists in stable
branches at least back to 2.6.x.

Since we see this problem a lot on our servers and we cannot recompile
some kernels we use, we are
highly interested in backporting of this patch to older versions to
make it merged into stable distributions.

Is there any chance you could commit it in stable series?
Can we help you with this (i.e. prepare backported patches, etc.)?

Please, advise.

Thanks in advance,
Dmitry Fleytman
