as indicated before, I've observed the problem in 2.6.12-rc1.  No
modifications to e1000.  So whatever is in 2.6.12-rc1, that's what
showed the problems.

I have tried a 2.6.11 kernel which works fine.  I have not tested
patching e1000 in 2.6.12-rc1 to go back to whatever was shipped in
2.6.11.

I'll try to remember testing that once I'm back from my current business
trip (friday), though
