 I apologize for the delay in response. I pulled the two lines that seemed
 most relevant from that source and put it into 4.9 and it worked (the
 lines being:
 
 adapter->hw.phy_reset_disable = TRUE;
 
 at the end of em_init() and:
 
 adapter->hw.phy_reset_disable = FALSE;
 
 just before the end of em_media_change().
 
 Thanks!
