Any chance that the fixes in the (latest) e1000 driver version 7.1.9-k4 will get backported?
I can't run 2.6.17.7 on at least one of my servers due to bugs in the driver that are fixed in the latest e1000 version. I looked through the -stable patches but didn't find anything that would fix my problem. I get messages along the lines of "kernel: Virtual device XXX asks to queue packet!" and the device then refuses to work. The last kernel where I know for a fact that it worked OK is 2.6.11, so that's what the server is currently running.
Getting the fix for that problem backported to -stable would really make my day.
