e1000 not working using 2.6.11

[John covici]

Hi.  I am not getting good results on a box I have which uses an Intel
Pro gigabit Ethernet driver for its network connection.  What happens
is that I get messages like watchdog xmit timeout and lots of errors
out of ifconfig.  Here is the listpci entry for that card.  It works
under the other OS, so I imagine the hardware is OK.

0000:01:0b.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corp. 82540EM Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 02)
        Subsystem: Intel Corp.: Unknown device 3013
        Flags: bus master, 66MHz, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 19
        Memory at e7000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=128K]
        Memory at e7020000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
        I/O ports at b400 [size=64]
        Capabilities: [dc] Power Management version 2
        Capabilities: [e4] PCI-X non-bridge device.
        Capabilities: [f0] Message Signalled Interrupts: 64bit+ Queue=0/0 Enable-


Any assistance would be appreciated.

Does 2.6.12-rc6 work?

If not, the maintainers of this driver (Cc'ed) might be able to help 
you.
