Bug#701632: i350-T4 duplicate MAC addresses

[Markus Schade <markus.schade@gmail.com>]

Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.32-48
Severity: important

Hi

while the recent point release brought support for Dells PERC H710 raid 
controller (great work, thanks!), the driver for the Intel i350 NDC is 
(still?) showing duplicate MACs. The backports kernel is not affected.

So this bug is fixed upstream, but I cannot say, which commit it is. See 
also
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.e1000.devel/10663/focus=10692

So, actually #627702 is not resolved.

If you need any further information, I'll be happy to help.

Best regards,
