And did this machine expose the problem at least once previously? Apparently not all systems having e1000e hardware are being hit by the issue, either only specific product IDs are affected, or it might be chipset-dependent, etc.
I am not sure. See comment #32. It might of course also just have been a broken joint on the mainboard.
Also, please do not forget to back up contents of your EEPROM before you start playing with this :)
If it hits me the same as last time, this won't help :) (and yes, i backed it up) (In reply to comment #59 from Jesse Brandeburg)
BTW this is the first desktop machine I've heard of that reported the problem. Regarding the desktop: it also has intel integrated graphics, and it had recurring problems with the graphics driver (lockups) before the ethernet broke. Maybe that's one common factor.
