Came in to work this morning and updated my intrepid system, noticed a new kernel and had to update. When the system came back up, eth0 disappeared. Now I have no network connection at all. :( Did an lspci, and I have an Intel 82566DM-2 Gigabit Network Connection (rev 02)

I'm guessing (and I'll admit I'm a *nix novice) that this is due to the e1000e driver being disabled and eth0 never being loaded. An ifconfig returns nothing other than lo. Booting into Windows XP seems a-OK and I have full network access (haha, haven't booted into XP in quite a while and was prompted to update a gazillion Win-updates...anyways, I digress).

This was marked "fixed" (?) last night; seems to have caused me more trouble. Any ideas/recommendations? If and when a fix is released, I guess I'll have to copy over and install the debs on a usb stick. Oh well, it is alpha after all.
