"Reports have been coming in that the e1000e ethernet driver for Intel GigE
chipsets, as included upstream in Linux 2.6.27, may under certain conditions
irreparably damage your ethernet hardware by corrupting the on-board
firmware."

Talk about false and misleading propaganda!! Since I don't HAVE an Intel
ethernet shipset, how in hell is it going to be destroyed?

The 2.6.27-rc7 changelog shows this problem has been fixed for e1000:
[url]http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/testing/ChangeLog-2.6.27-rc7[/url]
and this patch in the -mm series fixes it for e1000e:
[url]http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm-commits&m=122038324200305&w=2[/url]
Clearly, we need to ensure the second patch makes it into 2.6.27
final; the corruption is reported to occur during suspend/resume
cycles.
Amazing how quickly stuff gets sorted out. They're at 2.6.27-rc8 now at
kernel.org.

What would the trolls do, without google to search the planet for
obscure issues with beta software?

I didn't know about that.
Was it in Roy's NEWS in order to safe guard Linux users?

Why should this be a problem to begin with? If the software can
alter the hardware then the hardware should be able to accomodate
people doing really stupid things with it. The damage shouldn't be
permanent.
