It appears that some race is involved so it may be that its window is easier to hit with 64 bits?64-bit hardware, certainly - presumably almost any hardware that has the effected Ethernet card(s) would be a Core 2 or better 64-bit machine. But I'm fairly sure (it's been about a month, so I could be mis-remembering) I've only tried installing 32-bit versions of Fedora and Ubuntu - and my Ethernet card was affected.
I'm running 64-bit Linux (Fedora, C5, opensuse 11.0) on relevant hardware. I will _not_ try the opensuse beta (the docs suggest destruction is possible), and if I keep updating Fedora 10 alpha I suspect I will lose the Internet.
