From 651fb1026d9c41d6073cffddfaef1aa224d4ea85 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bruce Allan Date: Wed, 5 Dec 2012 06:26:03 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] e1000e: 82577: workaround for link drop issue When connected to certain switches, the 82577 PHY might drop link unexpectedly. Work around the issue by setting the Mean Square Error higher than the hardware default.
