Description Dennis Nienhüser (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-02-29 11:39:04 UTC 
As stated in README, some e1000 cards don't work well with low end switches (can't establish link). There's a workaround, I changed the ebuild to apply it without the need to change the ebuild itself and added some docs on how to do it.

Reproducible: Always
