[Bug 763467] [NEW] SIOCGMIIREG errors on e1000e interface

[Stefan Lapers]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: keepalived

Running keepalived on 10.04 LTS (running fully updated) throws SIOCGMIIREG errors, it seems to be related to the e1000e driver.
I compiled the latest keepalived version (1.2.2) from source and this resolves the problem.

# dpkg -l | grep keepalived
ii  keepalived                      1.1.17-2ubuntu1                 Failover and monitoring daemon for LVS clust
