Bug#1022276: linux-image-6.0.0-1-amd64: Debian kernels since 5.19 drop Solarflare SFC9000 (SFN5xxx SFN6xxx) support.
Package: src:linux
Version: 6.0.2-1+b1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
X-Debbugs-Cc: tim@seoss.co.uk
Firstly, thanks for the work on the Debian kernel packaging!
Upstream kernel v5.19 incorporated a patch which split out Solarflare
SFC9000 (NIC model SFN5000 and SFN6000 series) driver support from the
main Solarflare driver. Debian stable currently supports these NICs, so
this patch adds the necessary config entries to continue driver support
for these NICs.
These NICs are reasonably commonplace, with used models being frequently
traded online (being a good value low-power-consumption 10GB Ethernet
NIC), so I think reinstating support for these cards is the right thing
to do.
Upstream patch set which necessitates this patch:

Mainline kernel tree commit set circa c5a13c319e10e
Thanks!
Tim.
