I submitted eariler a patch for this, but it's untested and someone who owns an e1000 needs to try it. As for all the netpoll issues, I'm satisfied with whatever you guys decide. But I've seen lots of problems posted over the netpoll and e1000, where people send in patches that do everything but fix the e1000, and that's where I chimed in. Thank you, my pants are dry now :-) -- Steve
