I apologize for taking so long to get back to you. I need some more info as I've had some reports that might be related but I have no exact repro of this in house. What is the system this in? Can you give me brand and model info? I don't think ASPM is the culprit here. It is disabled on each instance of the part and on the upstream end of them. Also, that symptom is that the device drops or misbehaves after some time, not at init. Does the card repro the problem with this os in a different system? Does the problem repro on a specific version of the os? If so, what verson doesn't show the problem specifically? Also, can you repro it on a current Fedora or an upstream version? Do all four ports fail in the same way? I didn't see any errors in the init in the dmesg. Is that always the case? Finally, are you able to download ethregs from our SourceForge site, compile it, install it and provide a register dump of the four ports on the device?
