From 9bbe3a570b4984ff2e90014074ba3a06a05384a0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: PJ Waskiewicz Date: Tue, 24 Nov 2009 18:51:28 +0000 Subject: ixgbe: Disable Flow Control for certain devices Flow Control autoneg should be disabled for certain adapters that don't support autonegotiation of Flow Control at 10 gigabit. These interfaces are the 10GBASE-T devices, CX4, and SFP+, all running at 10 gigabit only. 1 gigabit is fine. Signed-off-by: Peter P Waskiewicz Jr Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher Signed-off-by: David S.
