Re: Kernel package status

[David Botsch <dwb7 ccmr cornell edu>]

While we have plenty of boxes with e1000s, we have found that, in 
general, the driver in the kernel doesn't work with the card. With 
certain revisions of certain cards it will, but with most, we either 
have to upgrade to the latest driver avail. from Intel or downgrade to 
a version 3 driver (depending once again, on which card revision is in 
the particular box).
