Public bug reported:

Issue:

The current jme driver module distributed in the Linux kernel is
outdated, resulting in non-functioning gigabit capabilities for JMC2x0
series Gigabit NICs by JMicron. The current driver version in Ubuntu's
distributed kernel is 1.0.7. The driver version in the upstream Linux
kernel is 1.0.8. The latest driver version by the OEM is 1.0.8.3, listed
as 1.0.8.2-jmmod in the source code.

The reason I do not use the ubuntu-bug utility to report this bug is
that I have already updated my driver manually from source, so the
information reported would be incorrect.

Kernel version: Ubuntu 2.6.38-11.48-generic 2.6.38.8
