Forcedeth causes problem on SUspend / Resume

[Michael Dewes]

On a Gigabyte GA-M68SM-S2 Board (nVidia nForce 630a) with Mythbuntu 8.04, a suspend
and following resume causes a problem with a mixed up MAC, which seems to be known.

A second suspend/resume brings the network back up again.

The problem seems to be caused by the forcedeth-module, according to this mail thread,
it might already be fixed, but I don't understand a word :-)

Thanks for your report! I'm assigning this to the kernel package.

The fix mentioned in the mailing list thread is already committed to git. The Ubuntu kernel developers just need to pull in http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=2e3884b5b16795c03a7bf295797c1b2402885b88 </hint hint>

Thanks for assigning the bug! I'm most sure that you know what you are talking about, laga - but, sure
as hell, me, I don't ;-) But I'm looking forward to my new and shiny Mythbox...

I'm invalidating the upstream task as this bug seems to have already been resolved upstream based off the commit pointed to.

The patch referenced here is already included in the latest Hardy Alpha kernel release. This report didn't mention which kernel version was being used. Can you please test the latest Hardy kernel release (2.6.24-10) as of today and verify this is resolved? Thanks.
