Haralad:

   It looks like your patch is identical to the patch RFP'd from HEAD
   to branches/stable/8 on 06/18/2010 (aka, SVN r209309?)

   This includes the cumulative backport of changes in HEAD from
   r208117 all the way to r209259 (but not 209959, which addresses
   the TX checksum panic?)

   Just to confirm: This fixes the duplex problems for you?

   If so, odd -- I coped all of e1000/*.{c.h} from 8/stable/.../e1000/*
   on 07/17/2010 into releng/8.1/sys/dev/e1000/* and am still seeing
   the duplex problem after a full rebuild.

   I've been laboring under the assumption that SVN r209238 fixed
   my problem, but it doesn't appear so from my backport testing.

   I'll try modifying your patch to include r209259 -> 209959 from
   HEAD as well and go from there.

   PS. Maybe my lurid language has cursed me and I have to make peace
   with the universe first.  Now, everyone reach under their chairs
   and take the 5 dried grams of shrooms I taped there.

   Then send in Vanilla Ice.
