Comment # 25 on bug 1009911 from Todd Fujinaka

First, I think Dave Miller likes the Intel Ethernet patches to come from Jeff
Kirsher's tree, and that's why I suggested the other mailing list.

Second, instead of your patch, can you try using commit a67bc5ea20106ec "igb:
Workaround for igb i210 firmware issue" and also this additional patch:

    igb: add i211 to i210 PHY workaround

    i210 and i211 share the same PHY but have different PCI IDs. Don't
    forget i211 for any i210 workarounds.
