Unfortunately, there are issues with current PRO/1000 devices that make MSI unusable.

This is why MSI has not already been enabled in the e1000 driver. -Chris Leech - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
