That's absolutely ridiculous. I'm being aware that ubuntu alpha or beta can break some stuff (like eating my filesystem or deleting my partitions etc). In fact it already did. However, this is a whole different thing as BREAKING HARDWARE. To make this clear, we are talking about RMAing laptops and mainboards because of this bug. And we are also talking about reasonable popular hardware. With the statement standing in the room that I should espect my hardware to die when I try ubuntu I will certainly don't try any alpha or beta ubuntu software ever again. In my opinion the Alpha should be pulled NOW. Then you can discuss what steps have to be make to address this problem. (e.g. one easy sollution: disable e1000 and republish) This won't you cost more than a few days.
