[plug] Intel igb module issues

[Byron Hammond]

This will probably be of no use, but in addition to what Nick said, if you
wanted to track down the exact version the regression was introduced in,
and this could take a long time, you could do this...

Checkout the source using git.
Use git bisect to identify a commit that is good (no bug) and a commit that
is bad (with bug) and then bisect the commits (building and testing kernels
as you bisect) until you find the commit that introduced the regression.
Then you can either compile the kernel previous to that commit or just use
the previous kernel version that the commit that it was introduced in.
I know I know. But just thought it may be an interesting piece of extra
information.

Regards
Byron
