This patch adds the PCI device ID (0xe0a1) and alx_pci_tbl entry for the
Killer E2400 Ethernet controller, modeled after the Killer E2200
controller support (0xe091) already present in the alx driver.
This patch was originally authored by Ben Pope, but it got held up by
issues in the commit message, so I'm resubmitting it on his behalf.
I've extensively used a kernel with this patch on a System76 serw9
laptop and am quite confident it works well (at least on the hardware I
have available for testing).
Note that as a favor to System76, Ubuntu has been carrying this as a
sauce patch in their 4.2 based Wily kernel, which presumably has given
it real-world testing on other E2400 equipped hardware (I don't know of
any Ubuntu kernel bugs filed about it):

No sign-off from Ben?
Apologies, this is my first time submitting a kernel patch :)
Should I use git send-email to send this again,
I didn't notice if your mailer corrupted the patch but if it did 'git
send-email' should be used indeed.
this time with the sign-off from Ben?
No need to resend if it wasn't corrupted. Just replying to this patch with
his sign-off should be enough -- patchwork should collect the tags from the
follow-ups.
And if so, should I do so as a reply to this thread?
No, not on this list. DaveM prefers the patch reposts to be done as the
fresh new postings.
Thanks for you time!
Your, I guess? Not at all. :-)
MBR, Sergei
