the receive unit to be enabled before we're all done initializing the
adapter data. An interrupt arriving before we're all done setting up
obviously causes problems. To fix, we postpone enabling interrupts
completely until the software intialization is finished.
Call me dense but is there a chance that the same receive unit that should
not be enabled now emits interrupts between e1000_up() and request_irq() ?
turning on the receive unit starts the rx logic on the mac, but doesn't make the
mac generate interrupts as far as I know. The fix was verified and even
suggested earlier by some people as well.
Cheers,
