Ok, here's an interesting one: my e1000 card no longer worked for a while.
The green link-light blinks on/off once a second, and in time to that, my
dmesg fills up with an endless supply of
e1000: eth0: e1000_watchdog: NIC Link is Down
e1000: eth0: e1000_watchdog: NIC Link is Up 100 Mbps Full Duplex, Flow
Control: None
e1000: eth0: e1000_watchdog: 10/100 speed: disabling TSO
and networking obviously doesn't actually work.
Just out of curiosity, which e1000 chipset+motherboard are you running this on?
there have been problems reported with AMT2 on several chipsets (AMT2 is not
supported under linux, unlike AMT1), and having it enabled in the BIOS produces
this phenomenon.
I have to dig up which nic was affected, don't know by heart.
Cheers,
Auke
