I only did test plain 2.6.34 (v2.6.34) Also I repeat that revert of e98cac447cc1cc418dff1d610a5c79c4f2bdec7f (e1000e: Fix/cleanup PHY reset code for ICHx/PCHx) fixes the bug on vanilla kernel. Also I just pulled latest vanilla git, and I according to diffstat I see no changes in e1000e, so its likely that bug remains there. I will test that soon. Best regards, Maxim Levitsky
