[Bug 263555] Re: [intrepid] 2.6.27 e1000e kernel places Intel gigE chipsets at risk

[Alacrityathome]

Colin,

Seems that a warning may be insufficient.  I would think most of the
folks testing a pre-release may not know they have an e1000e driver or
affected NIC.

Maybe blacklist e1000e asap and then re-instate e1000e after a fix is
found.

Perhaps have the "warning" state something about the e1000e being
temporarily withheld from the pre-release with certain Intel NICs
affected.

John
