Sorry that my description was so inaccurate. I'm talking about a vanilla 
v3.0.8 linux kernel. Just renamed to 2.6.40.8.

Linux Distri is Debian Lenny but we're running a self compiled vanilla 
3.0.X kernel. I haven't tried to use the up2date e1000.sf.net driver as 
3.0 is a long time supported kernel by greg - so all needed fixes should 
be backported or at least send to stable@ so that greg can have a look 
at them.

Thanks!
