Hi, I'm currently running the 3.0.36 kernel on custom HW using an MPC8347 PPC SOC with an Intel RC82540EP gigabit ethernet controller that we're talking to with the e1000 driver. We're seeing a lot of problems with memory (bad page table entries, out-of-memory panics, etc.) when we take the interface down and back up with ifconfig.
I'm suspicious that our problem is due to using an old driver that has memory issues. We're not in a position to move forward on kernel versions right now, so I have a couple of questions I hope you can answer. 1) Does the IGB driver support the RC82540EP? I'm not finding any obvious references to the part in .../drivers/net/ethernet/intel/igb in the 3.9 tree. 2) If it does, how bad would it be to try and backport to the 3.0.36 kernel? Thanks.
