From 2d06cad1a5ceb3b04dc9547e261ad4fcebf7433d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bruce Allan Date: Fri, 8 Aug 2008 18:35:51 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] e1000e: Set InterruptThrottleRate to default when invalid value used During module load, seting the InterruptThrottleRate parameter to an invalid value would result in the itr/itr_setting pair being set to unexpected values which would result in poor performance.
