Hi there,

I'm using on a daily use and in production 3.2.x kernels (.29 currently) on a Kontron Nano-etx board that features the pch_gbe network driver.

I've been experiencing lots of troubles on this kernel series but since I've backported the following commits back to my 3.2.x, it works far better.

So from the history of next the following commits apply perfectly and runs very well.

I do think that other users of pch_gbe will appreciate this.

Cheers,
Erwan
