An update on the current status of this bug: This issue has never affected a released version of Ubuntu, only an alpha milestone of Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid).
The problem was worked around in kernel version 2.6.27-4.6 in Intrepid by temporarily disabling the e1000e driver (the e1000 driver is still provided). There is no risk of hardware damage with the current Intrepid packages. A more complete fix is still in progress upstream, though Tim is preparing an interim fix which will allow the e1000e driver to be restored (see comment #98). -- [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
