[E1000-devel] e1000e giving message "Warning: detected ASPM enabled in EEPROM" on bootup

[Chris M. <cm...@as...>]

I compiled and tried the e1000e driver on my hardware with two PCI-E
NICs. The e1000e driver appears to be working but I noticed on bootup
that the following message was logged for one of the NICs:

e1000e 0000:03:00.0: Warning: detected ASPM enabled in EEPROM

I see that ASPM is Active Power State Management but it's not clear
form this message if it gets disabled, or if it stays enabled, and
what the consequences are one way or another. The system is a
rack-mounted server not any kind of mobile device.

Thanks in advance.
