I've got a board for which the vendor has supplied an igb driver
claiming to be version 3.0.3.  I assume it's got some
vendor-specific modifications but I don't know what they are.  I
tried a stock 3.2.9 igb driver and it didn't work--it gave messages
like:

igb 0000:03:00.1: PCI INT A ->  GSI 40 (level, low) ->  IRQ 40 igb
0000:03:00.1: Hardware Initialization Failure igb 0000:03:00.1: PCI
INT A disabled igb: probe of 0000:03:00.1 failed with error -5

Is there somewhere I can download a stock 3.0.3 driver so I can


We have older versions on Source Forge, have you tried any of the
older ones?  Also, what is your hardware and who is your vendor?  If
you open an issue on Source Forge there will be a place to track and
post info.  Info I'll need to assist is a full output of lspci -vvv
and a full dmesg log from both versions of the driver.  Was there a
problem with the 3.0.3 version the vendor supplied?


I've got some additional information. A nice person sent me the 3.0.3 tarball and I've diffed the vendor version against it and attached the delta. As you can see, aside from pointless renaming of functions it appears to be adding support for a new phy and hardcoding various things based on board-specific knowledge. I'm not quite sure why they're doing what they're doing to E1000_FUNC_2/E1000_FUNC_3.

I'm not sure I'm allowed to specify what the vendor or overall product is, but the ethernet devices in question are DH89XXCC series and at least some of them correspond to front panel ports on an ATCA board.

Is the support for the BCM PHY something that would make sense for future driver versions?
