Subject: [PATCH] e1000: resolve tx multiqueue bug

From: Ben Hutchings <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 18 Jul 2008 18:05:30 +0100

With the recent changes to tx mutiqueue, e1000 was not calling
netif_start_queue() before calling netif_wake_queue().
This causes an oops during loading of the driver.

(Based on commit d55b53fff0c2ddb639dca04c3f5a0854f292d982.)
