Any verdict on this one?

I happen to be asking now since silly me just ""upgraded"" a mere mortal's
sorta-production machine to 2.6.24 proper without remembering
that the previous -rc6 had contained a minor but effective change
to make those wires do their thing. Or, to tell it as it was,
"Mom wasn't impressed ;)".

Perhaps it's useful to file a bug/patch
on http://sourceforge.net/projects/e1000/ ? Perhaps -mm testing?

Thanks,

Andreas Mohr
