I don't understand your decision; upgrading the whole driver is actually a
lot more likely to introduce regressions, seeing how this driver should be
at the very least 2 different drivers.
I've been working on the igb driver for 5 days, I've read every single
upstream commit affecting igb since before 2.6.32 and I've read the 82575
manuals from cover to cover.
If you want to see for yourself, Intel document ref. 324632-003, rev. 2.1
01/2011, pages 392-393 document the MANC register.
And that'll be it as far as I'm concerned.
JB.
