[Bug 42572] Re: e1000 driver on thinkpad X60/T60 produces latency

[Mattias Holmlund]

I have the same alternating latency problem on my Thinkpad T60. It uses
the e1000 driver as well. When I ping the Thinkpad from another host on
my local network, the ping-times alternate between one second and a few
milliseconds, almost always in the sequence long, short, long, short
etc. I have tested this with both 6.06.1 and Edgy Eft Knot 3 with the
same result.

The long latency makes remote X and ssh very painful to use, since the
network seems to freeze one second at a time.
