Hi.
Since commit 6f461f6c7c (e1000e: enable/disable ASPM L0s and L1 and ERT
according to hardware errata) I'm seeing high latencies on my Thinkpad T60p.

This is 2.6.36-rc3 yet commit 19833b5dff (e1000e: disable ASPM L1 on 82573)
isn't having any effect for me.
For our OpenSUSE 11.3 kernels (2.6.34 based), reverting just 6f461f6c7c
solves the issue. For .36-rc3 reverting 6f461f6c7c plus of course 19833b5dff
does the trick.
I'm happy to perform any testing to help narrow this down. LMK.
