That would cover at least more affected ASUS boards. But as shown in the Ubuntu
bug report, this problem probably exists also on other Marvell NICs and
probably on other motherboards (the LAN NIC there is not the same as mine but
it wasn't mentioned which motherboard the reporter uses). Is there a more
elegant solution than adding all affected boards to that blacklist?

Nevertheless I can confirm that your patch fixes the issue for me (without the
need for the Kernel boot parameter). Hence you can get my Tested-by Marcus
