Nothing happend to me either. Probably it depends on the system bios / firmware. My Vaio Z does not have an ordinary BIOS, but a new (U)EFI firmware with bios emulation. Probably the emulation denies access (to some parts) of the NVRAM!? Just to make sure, blacklisted and removed e1000e.
Please note: I'm not using Ubuntu Intrepid, but only it's 2.6.27-3 kernel package and the new xorg packages. Ethernet was used only once for traffic. Driver was loaded every system start and card was recognized. The only time I realy used the ethernet port, I had to reload the driver manually as network cable wasn't recognized. After having reloaded the driver everything worked fine. -- [intrepid] 2.6.27 e1000e driver places Intel ICH8 and ICH9 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
