no, this patch is for e1000, and has nothing to do with this problem. Right now, the only reports of this issue are with 82566 and 82567 based LAN parts (ich8 and ich9). the eeprom is not MMIO mapped, the registers for accessing it are. I'm still not clear if a random write to a memory location could corrupt things, we'll be looking at that today. -- [intrepid] 2.6.27 e1000e kernel places Intel gigE chipsets at risk https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/263555 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
