Comment 72 for bug 263555

I am using a 2.6.26 kernel in hardy which loads the e1000e module on a Thinkpad X300. I have not seen any problems but as a precaution have blacklisted the module by hand by adding the line

blacklist e1000e

to the end of the file

 /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist

This prevents the module loading when I boot the 2.6.26 kernel but allows the e1000 module to load with the stock hardy 2.6.24 kernel.

No wired connection with the 2.6.26 kernel but hopefully no corruption of hardware either....
I use the 2.6.26 kernel because the wireless driver is less buggy.

Comments?
