You are exactly right: cf9ecf4b fixed the premanent SoL breakage introduced by dabc5c67. Looks like ASF utilizes similar technology to that of the HS20 BMC. Thanks for the tip, it greatly reduced our CPU wear. :) It's a pity ethtool -k did not give a hint. Do you think it's possible to work around in 3.2 by eg. fiddling some ethtool setting? -- Thanks, Feri. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
