Yeah.. it only fixes the e1000e part of the story.
It doesn't fix the part that is causing the corruption in the first place

/me waits to find out that this was caused by the 'TCP' security bug that wipes out all stacks.

and it turns out that the bug is caused by the incoming packets from various 'testers' on the internet.

unlikely, as the bug has been hit by several testers in isolated testing labs.
