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

[Tim Gardner]

@Jesse - Regardless of the reasons unrelated crashes are presumed to be
corrupting flash, why not modify the driver so that NV RAM is only
mapped while ethtool is actually using the interface? Even if the root
cause is found this time, it seems like something that could happen
again.
