Package: src:linux Version: 4.19.289-2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
Intel has introduced a new network card. They have submitted the driver to the upstream kernel. We don't know if it's reasonable to ask that this driver be backported to Debian, or to older versions of Debian, but in order to use an out-of-tree driver on older versions, a PCI ATS quirks patch is needed for some early versions of the hardware. Thus we're asking if it's possible to backport that quirks patch to older versions of Debian, so that users can use the out-of-tree driver. The patch was released in Linux 6.7: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?h=v6.7&id=a18615b1cfc04f00548c60eb9a77e0ce56e848fd It's been backported to 5.15 in the LTS kernels, but customers may need it in older kernels for Debian. -- Package-specific info: ** Kernel log: boot messages should be attached -- System Information: Debian Release: 10.13 APT prefers oldoldstable-updates APT policy: (500, 'oldoldstable-updates'), (500, 'oldoldstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-24-cloud-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages linux-image-4.19.0-25-cloud-amd64 depends on: ii initramfs-tools [linux-initramfs-tool] 0.133+deb10u1 ii kmod 26-1 ii linux-base 4.6 Versions of packages linux-image-4.19.0-25-cloud-amd64 recommends: ii apparmor 2.13.2-10 ii firmware-linux-free 3.4 Versions of packages linux-image-4.19.0-25-cloud-amd64 suggests: pn debian-kernel-handbook <none> ii grub-pc 2.06-3~deb10u4 pn linux-doc-4.19 <none> Versions of packages linux-image-4.19.0-25-cloud-amd64 is related to: pn firmware-amd-graphics <none> pn firmware-atheros <none> pn firmware-bnx2 <none> pn firmware-bnx2x <none> pn firmware-brcm80211 <none> pn firmware-cavium <none> pn firmware-intel-sound <none> pn firmware-intelwimax <none> pn firmware-ipw2x00 <none> pn firmware-ivtv <none> pn firmware-iwlwifi <none> pn firmware-libertas <none> pn firmware-linux-nonfree <none> pn firmware-misc-nonfree <none> pn firmware-myricom <none> pn firmware-netxen <none> pn firmware-qlogic <none> pn firmware-realtek <none> pn firmware-samsung <none> pn firmware-siano <none> pn firmware-ti-connectivity <none> pn xen-hypervisor <none> -- no debconf information
