3.       The driver accurately reports AUI-C2C PHY type as KR ethtool link mode.

Products Affected:

100 GbE Intel® Ethernet Network Adapters – only if you run into above mentioned issues on a Linux system

Due to the continuous development of the Linux kernel, the drivers are updated more often than the bundled releases. The latest driver can be found on http://e1000.sourceforge.net (and also on http://downloadcenter.intel.com).
