Nice to know that with this: "ethtool -e eth0 > eth0.eeprom" I can backup the eprom data but how do I restore it in case of failure? I am affected by this bug since I do have and e1000

they are still working to develop the tool to be able to do the restore.
note that it appears that not all e1000 cards are vunerable, only the ones on laptops (and possibly not all of those, but I have seen comments that the PCI/PCIE cards are not vunerable)
