The Intel e1000 out of box (Sourceforge) driver is end of life and only in-kernel e1000 driver is supported. I can certainly help you with the tx hang issue. I will follow up this issue on bugzill@kernel Thanks. -Tushar ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites. So do we.
