Hi Greg,
Found few e100e upstream fixes from Benjamin Poirier in lede source tree, https://git.lede-project.org/?p=source.git, and these fixes seem reasonable enough for 4.14.y too.
Also submitting an e1000e buffer overrun fix by Sasha Neftin.
Cherry-picked and build tested for linux v4.14.2 for ARCH=arm/arm64.
Regards, Amit Pundir

Hello everybody,
looks like one of these breaks connectivity on my Thinkpad X250. Just downgraded to linux 4.14.2 to verify.
Can you try the -rc release I just did? It has a fix for this series in it.
It connects with the notebook's built in ethernet port (did not check with 4.14.3) but still fails to see a link when placed in docking station.
Do you have the same issues with 4.15-rc2?
Just a short heads-up and final result for this thread... The issue is fixed with Benjamin's patch:
Any word on getting this patch into Linus's tree anytime soon?
thanks,
greg k-h
