From 8238f12a32d413d5ad69f2e975972ecb31f7ce70 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Don Skidmore Date: Tue, 18 Jan 2011 22:53:47 +0000 Subject: ixgbe: fix for 82599 erratum on Header Splitting commit a124339ad28389093ed15eca990d39c51c5736cc upstream. We have found a hardware erratum on 82599 hardware that can lead to unpredictable behavior when Header Splitting mode is enabled. So we are no longer enabling this feature on affected hardware. Please see the 82599 Specification Update for more information.
