Bug#885348: linux-image-4.14.0-2-amd64: aLatest kernel (linux-image-4.14.0-2-amd64) breaks e1000e driver on Intel 82579V Gigabit adapter
Package: src:linux Version: 4.14.7-1 Severity: critical Tags: patch upstream Justification: breaks the whole system Dear Maintainer, This morning, I updated the Linux kernel from linux-image-4.13.0-1-amd64 to linux-image-4.14.0-2-amd64. Afterwards, my Intel Gigabit adapter (details below) did not work properly anymore (no link). When booting back into the previous kernel (4.13), everything works properly again. It seems like others experience the same behavior, see: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=198047 According to that thread, this bug was introduced in v4.14.3 through commit 830466993daf09adbd179e4c74db07279a088f8c ("e1000e: Separate signaling for link check/link up", upstream: 19110cfbb34d4af0cdfe14cd243f3b09dc95b013). The thread also includes a patch that (apparently) fixes the problem: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=261183&action=diff&collapsed=&headers=1&format=raw Could you please apply this patch to the Debian kernel, until it is included in upstream?
