This happens with 2.6.30.8, but I could not see any obvious differences to the current state of e1000e, while trying to find the problem in the code. The interface has been configured including a customized qlen via /etc/network/interfaces. The ports are not connected at startup so obviously the Kernel reports ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth2: link is not ready while ifconfig properly displays the customized qlen. When plugging the server tx_queue_len is reset to 1000. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. Franco
