Re: [Xen-devel] problem with the pro/1000 driver for intel gigabitethernet card

[Jon Mason <jdmason@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Rich for opening the bug.

I backleveled the e1000 driver to the one in xen-2.0, and I don't see the 
problem anymore (on my 3rd attempt now, and we seeing it every time before).

The working driver version is 5.5.4-k2. 
The non-working driver version is 5.6.10.1-k2.
The latest version available is 6.0.54.

I am going to try the latest/greatest e1000 driver available, and see if that 
makes any difference.

Thanks,
Jon
