[Bug 263555] Re: [intrepid] 2.6.27 e1000e driver places Intel ICH8 and ICH9 gigE chipsets at risk

[Fred]

This is very creepy that Linux can permanently damage hardware!
How can this be? Why?
How can it be prevented?
Does it really need to do these risky operations?

Similar things must never happen in the future! Completely unacceptable!
If Linux permanently damages peoples hardware, then nobody will dare to try Linux, and how can I recommend it to friends?
