Support for X553 Intel NIC in Xenial

[Vincent Bernat]

Hey!

The Intel Atom C3000 platform comes with an integrated X553 Intel NIC. Support was added in Linux 4.11: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next.git/commit/?id=b3eb4e1860f35. PCI IDs are 8086:15E4 and 8086:15E5.

Would it be possible to backport such support into 4.4? Redhat provided support for such chips a few months back (through DKMS): https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHEA-2017:1194.

Thanks.

I am also needing the updated driver for a firewall appliance.

I logged in using the elinks browser (since the system has no GUI), allowed the application to have access via my account and nothing apparent happened. I did change the status to confirmed as requested above. If I need to do something after allowing the application to have access then please provide the steps i need to take, thanks.

Good! I had to subscribe to the bug to get apport-collect to work but obviously after doing so (and answering Yes to "... really .. proceed?" then "Send report") it did what it said.
