Hello All,
I'm seeing some odd behavior using the e100 driver for an intel ethernet
controller 82557/8/9 (revv 10). It appears as if the e100 driver is
handling interrupts generated by another device, though I am not certain
of this..
Using some printks, I see some odd packets received that are

Hi Stephen,
Yes, holding the adapter->tx_lock is all that is needed. e1000_irq_disable
has been called prior to e1000_clean_tx_ring or the interrupt has never
