Serious e1000e driver issue in SLE 11 Beta 1
Dear Partner and Beta Tester,
the Intel e1000e driver on openSUSE 11.1 Beta 1 and SUSE Linux
Enterprise 11 Beta 1 might have a serious issue with the
potential to damage the network card in a way that it cannot be
used any longer.
Intel and Novell are currently working to analyze and solve the
issue.
For the time being:
Please do NOT USE
openSUSE 11.1 Beta 1
or
SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 Beta 1
on systems with Intel e1000e hardware.
Any other hardware, including systems with
Intel e1000 (without -e) network cards, is not affected.
We will keep you posted.
With kind regards
Your SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 Team
