Fixes & Enhancements
Changelog for igb-4.2.16
* update NVM functions to display NVM versions correctly in ethtool -i.

* Add new i350 devices.
* Add new I210 devices.
* Allow room for jumbo frames if MAX_SKB_FRAGS is less than 8.
* Add fix for I210/I211 to allow link to actually happen before reporting.
* Free memory when dma mapping failed.
* Enable EEE link partner advertisement support.
* Drop BUILD_BUG_ON call from igb_build_rx_buffer.

* Add conditionals for extended ethtool ops on RHEL6.
* Increase TX_WAKE_THRESHOLD to keep it in sync with our other drivers.
* Drop unnecessary check for LRO flag when LRO queue will be empty if LRO is disabled.
* Use rx/tx_itr_setting when setting up initial value of itr
* Add support for SW timestamping.
* Add timeout for PTP Tx work item,
* Add mechanism for detecting latched hardware Rx timestamp
* Added in-kernel I2C interface implementation for thermal sensor and changed sysfs reporting to hwmon.
* Free any held skb that should have been timestamped on remove.
* Dropped the use of the hardware packet-split feature in favor of a page based receive.
* TSO now checks for CHECKSUM_PARTIAL before checking for gso_size
* Several changes to refactor driver for improved performance.

Intel 82580 QP 1G Mezzanine Adapter
Installation instructions
Building and Installation
=========================
To build a binary RPM* package of this driver, run 'rpmbuild -tb
'. Replace with the specific filename
of the driver.
NOTE: For the build to work properly, the currently running kernel MUST
match the version and configuration of the installed kernel sources.
If you have just recompiled the kernel reboot the system now.
RPM functionality has only been tested in Red Hat distributions.
1. Move the base driver tar file to the directory of your choice. For
example, use /home/username/igb or /usr/local/src/igb.
2. Untar/unzip archive:
tar zxf igb-x.x.x.tar.gz
3. Change to the driver src directory:
cd igb-x.x.x/src/
4. Compile the driver module:
make install
The binary will be installed as:
/lib/modules//kernel/drivers/net/igb/igb.[k]o
The install locations listed above are the default locations. They
might not be correct forcertain Linux distributions.
5. Load the module using either the insmod or modprobe command:
modprobe igb
insmod igb
Note that for 2.6 kernels the insmod command can be used if the full
path to the driver module is specified. For example:
insmod /lib/modules//kernel/drivers/net/igb/igb.ko
With 2.6 based kernels also make sure that older igb drivers are
removed from the kernel, before loading the new module:
rmmod igb; modprobe igb
6. Assign an IP address to the interface by entering the following, where
x is the interface number:
ifconfig ethx
7. Verify that the interface works. Enter the following, where
is the IP address for another machine on the same subnet as the
interface that is being tested:
ping
TROUBLESHOOTING: Some systems have trouble supporting MSI and/or MSI-X
interrupts. If you believe your system needs to disable this style of
interrupt, the driver can be built and installed with the command:
make CFLAGS_EXTRA=-DDISABLE_PCI_MSI install
Normally the driver will generate an interrupt every two seconds, so if
you can see that you're no longer getting interrupts in cat /proc/interrupts
for the ethX igb device, then this workaround may be necessary.
To build igb driver with DCA:
------------------------------
If your kernel supports DCA, the driver will build by default with DCA enabled.
Command Line Parameters
=======================
If the driver is built as a module, the following optional parameters are used by entering them on the command line with the modprobe command using this syntax:
modprobe igb [
