Description Matt Domsch 2001-09-11 18:38:52 UTC 
Description of Problem:
The Intel 82559 NIC onboard the Intel "Lion" (and maybe the "BigSur") IA-
64 platforms have a buggy eeprom which enables "sleep mode".  Intel 
proposes disabling sleep mode via the e100 driver.  Instead, I propose 
that anaconda always run eepro100-diag -f -G -w -w -w  from Donald 
Becker's site to deal with this.

Comment 1 Jeremy Katz 2001-09-12 22:26:45 UTC 
Doesn't really belong in anaconda -- consider the situation where you install to
a hard drive and move the hard drive to a different machine.
Comment 2 Bill Nottingham 2001-09-25 17:53:12 UTC 
Fixed in 0.99.24-1.
Comment 3 Bill Nottingham 2001-10-04 19:16:20 UTC 
Fixed *correctly* in 0.99.25-1; the previous fix would only work on cards not
configured by the instaler.
