Sorry, that was a typo in my comment but not in my actual experiments. I used "e1000e", not "e100e". CONFIG_E1000E is enabled, and "lsmod" confirmed that the e1000e module was definitely loaded into the kernel. "The kernel", for the record, is the current Fedora 8 kernel, 2.6.24.5-85.fc8. I realize that pristine, self-built kernels are preferred for bug reporting. I am currently building my own 2.6.25.3 so that I can affirm or refute Jesse Brandeburg's claim (comment #12) that this bug is fixed in 2.6.25-rc1 and later. I'll report my findings when available, assuming I still remember how to install my own kernels. (Yes, yes, I've gotten soft and lazy.)
