When trying to figure out why WoL wouldn't work on 2.6.18-185.el5, I discovered that this RHEL patch: commit d853981d68f507ee30bd826727ef8002c536aebd Author: Amerigo Wang <amwang> Date: Thu Jan 14 15:36:38 2010 -0500 e1000e: fix rx length check errors took the patch that was posted upstream that made a crucial error and added a new value to state while modifying adapter flags instead of adding a new state and modifying state. The maintainers at Intel noticed this and before posting the patch that fixed it so the one included upstream is correct. This patch is based on that upstream commit: commit b94b50289622e816adc9f94111cfc2679c80177c Author: Jesse Brandeburg <jesse.brandeburg> Date: Tue Jan 19 14:15:59 2010 +0000 e1000e: enhance frame fragment detection
