I'm running a 2.6.26-rc6 kernel on a X61s laptop, which is an all-Intel ICH8, using the e1000e driver, and I haven't been been bitten with the problem either. I'm using an Ubuntu Hardy userspace, which means I'm using an 1.4.0.90 X Server with an i915 drm version 1.6.0 20060119, and my e1000 EEPROM hasn't been blasted to oblivion yet! Personally, I don't plan on upgrading to a newer userspace until we figure out what the heck is going on. :-) - Ted
