What is this 'newer version'? > I think somehow the ALX driver never got mainlined? [...] It did go into mainline in Linux 3.11. There was a regression in 3.19-rc1 as a change in the networking core (commit d75b1ade567f, "net: less interrupt masking in NAPI") uncovered a longstanding bug in alx, but this was supposed to be fixed already in 3.19-rc3 (commit 7a05dc64e2e4, "alx: fix alx_poll()").
