We've repro'd this, it wasnt caught before because he only tested copper. I will get the change submitted. Jack On Wed, Aug 19, 2009 at 9:07 AM, Jack Vogel wrote: > That should not be necessary. I will have someone look into this today. > > Jack > > > > On Tue, Aug 18, 2009 at 11:58 PM, Sam F

Hmmm, that's odd, I had the validation group do a thorough test of older adapters, and that one did not seem to have a problem, let me see if we can repro the issue tomorrow, but, in principle I have no problem doing this. Jack On Tue, Aug 18, 2009 at 7:55 PM, Sam Fourman Jr. wrote: > On Mon,

In case you hadn't seen it, the code that fixes this is now checked into the tip, so the latest em driver should work for you. Jack On Sun, Jun 28, 2009 at 9:52 AM, Jack Vogel wrote: > Sigh.. both windows and linux have frozen drivers for this old hardware, > therefore they never see the regre

Sigh.. both windows and linux have frozen drivers for this old hardware, therefore they never see the regressions they cause in the current code :( I will make a patch for you to test on Monday Mark, it will do the same thing that I did in the e1000_82540.c, basically change the read_mac function

I'm willing to bet that its in fact the same problem that VMWare is having. Our method of getting the mac address changed, and the emulations seem to be unprepared for it. This was done for a real customer requirement to allow support of alternate mac addressing in firmware. What happens now is a
