Serious e1000e Driver Issue in SLE 11 Beta 1 and openSUSE 11.1 Beta 1Serious e1000e Driver Issue in SLE 11 Beta 1 and openSUSE 11.1 Beta 1Posted Sep 23, 2008 13:43 UTC (Tue) by HappyCamp (guest, #29230)Parent article: Serious e1000e Driver Issue in SLE 11 Beta 1 and openSUSE 11.1 Beta 1
Supposedly this is due to a bug in the GFX driver, that when it panics it will overwrite non-volatile memory of the network card (e1000e) which then kills the network card. It may also be over-writing other non-volatile memory of other things, but the network card is where you notice it first.
The network card can be restored with a BIOS update, though you may have to reset the MAC address if it gets wiped out too.
