Hi All,

There is a serious bug which may affect some people subscribed to this
report so I wanted to pass along the information. Due to an unresolved
bug in the e1000e driver in the 2.6.27 Linux kernel, this driver/kernel
should not be used on Intel ethernet hardware supported by the e1000e
driver (Intel GigE). Doing so may render your network hardware
permanently inoperable.

Older Intel ethernet hardware which uses the e1000 driver is not
affected by this; however, some hardware which used the e1000 driver in
previous Ubuntu releases, such as hardware that uses a PCI Express bus,
has been moved from e1000 to e1000e in the latest kernel releases. If in
doubt, do not use this driver/kernel and subscribe to
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/263555 to be
notified when the bug is fixed.

Thanks.
