you did not miss it yet :)

So, in principle this patch might leave interrupts enabled way too long.
Unfortunately the code to enable IAM is way too complex for upstream-fixes so I
don't want to push that into 2.6.25. I'm scrambling right now to figure out if
this patch doesn't create endless interrupts from the hardware.

Once I'm happy with that answer I'll push/ack it

It seemed a bit odd that bits to enable IAM were being set in legacy
interrupt mode, so I dropped out the following parts and interrupts
began working fine again.

looks valid, I'll test and see, thanks Andy

[PATCH 2.6.25] igb: fix legacy mode irq issue

2008-02-13 Thread Andy Gospodarek

I booted an igb kernel with the option pci=nomsi and instantly noticed
that interrupts no longer worked on my igb device.  I took a look at the
interrupt initialization and quickly discovered a comment stating:

"DO NOT USE EIAME or IAME in legacy mode"

It seemed a bit odd that bits to enable IAM were being set in legacy
interrupt mode, so I dropped out the following parts and interrupts
began working fine again.
