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

Craig: most of us never use windows but have been constrained to pay for
it, so if it's able to restore a dead hardware device, at least I paid
for something! :) It's better than never use the ethernet card anymore
isn't it? It is better to know in this page that the hardware damage is
reversible, rather than leave here a page that states "use ubuntu and
you can kill your only integrated NIC forever"...

It would be interesting to discover how windows "restores" the card so
that somebody could create a free software that does the same.
