Re: [Linuxptp-users] PTP Clock completely wrong on a Intel 82579L

[Norbert L. <nol...@gm...>]

I sent a mail to int...@li..., since the other is
for out-of-tree drivers. Still waiting approval.
I am not so sure about a driver bug, all those intel chips are rather
similiar. Will try to read out the hardware PTP clock directly.
