Colin,

Seems that a warning may be insufficient. I would think most of the folks testing a pre-release may not know they have an e1000e driver or affected NIC.

Maybe blacklist e1000e asap and then re-instate e1000e after a fix is found.

Perhaps have the "warning" state something about the e1000e being temporarily withheld from the pre-release with certain Intel NICs affected.
