Uhm, this includes various versions of the intel pro 1000 card... so that's a TON of gear, to include like lenovo laptops, for instance. I'd wager that this is super common in the field. The PDF in the download says; "Products Affected: All 1gbe and 10gbe intel ethernet controllers...."
So I keep seeing this being pushed as a problem with clients... but isn't it the ONT that is bugged out and appending the extra data after the checksum is already there (as Bill Herrin points out)?
I know it's asking a lot to expect networking equipment vendors to fix their gear, but...
Unless I'm totally not understanding the bug, which is entirely (and likely).
