Many (but not all) devices including an Intel 82579LM NIC have a
hardware fault that results in packet loss at 100Mbps that is worked
around by the following recent patch:
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/109926/

More detail provided here:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/oneiric/+source/linux/+bug/870127
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=713315

It would be useful for this patch to be cherry picked for the kernel
for Wheezy as this fault exists on a large number of recent devices.


Thanks,

Terry

The patch ("e1000e: workaround for packet drop on 82579 at 100Mbps")
hit mainline in v3.1-rc4.  Are squeeze 2.6.32.y kernels affected?

Thanks,
Jonathan
