Description

When using WRL on WildCat Pass found the following issue:
kern.log:2015-10-30T23:44:15.025 controller-1 kernel: info NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0 (igb): transmit queue 7 timed out

This resets the adapters every so often.

I looked online and found the following:

Latest igb driver from Intel site:
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/product/59679/Intel-Ethernet-Controller-I350-Series
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/13663/Network-Adapter-Driver-for-82575-6-82580-I350-and-I210-211-Based-Gigabit-Network-Connections-for-Linux-

This has been fixed in WRL 7 earlier this year:

This same fix needs to be back ported to WRL 6 for TiS/OVP OR the latest driver from WRL 7/8 needs to be supported in WRL 6.
