e1000 (the ebuild) is unsupported. Please use the in-kernel drivers when using 2.6 Thanks! Could this possibly be reflected in the ebuild? E.g. could it depend on kernel <2.6, or just say: * Note: this ebuild isn't supposed to work with 2.6 ? Got hit by this bug the other day after I got hit by another issue using the in-kernel driver. The other issue is described at: http://support.intel.com/support/network/adapter/pro100/sb/cs-007655.htm Apparently the e1000 driver is meant to fix it, so do you mind if I test it, fix the ebuild to die properly and bump it? Feel free to test it, but please don't bump it. If there is an issue with in-kernel driver we should fix that instead. It didn't fix the issue either. IOW, the in-kernel and external drivers are as good as each other already. :( |
