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

[Kabelsalat]

Nothing happend to me either. Probably it depends on the system bios /
firmware. My Vaio Z does not have an ordinary BIOS, but a new (U)EFI
firmware with bios emulation. Probably the emulation denies access (to
some parts) of the NVRAM!? Just to make sure, blacklisted and removed
e1000e.

Please note: I'm not using Ubuntu Intrepid, but only it's 2.6.27-3
kernel package and the new xorg packages. Ethernet was used only once
for traffic. Driver was loaded every system start and card was
recognized. The only time I realy used the ethernet port, I had to
reload the driver manually as network cable wasn't recognized. After
having reloaded the driver everything worked fine.
