Patches are always welcome (referring to a e100 patch). As far as the e1000 patch goes, it has a number of issues which were found in testing. Here are just a few problems we saw: 1. ethtool -t - crashes the system 2. ethtool eth0 - always shows link/speed as 1000/Full even when there is no cable 3. ethtool -s eth0 autoneg on/off - system hang. Sometimes a copper interface will show up as fiber after this. 4. ethtool -d/-S/-g etc - will corrupt the stats of the interface while doing ifup/down So it appears that more needs to be done to the driver to get this to work as expected.
