--- Comment #95 from Jesse Brandeburg
Jesse, I'm setting this bug as NEEDINFO to you. The biggest roadblock right now is our inability to bring those dead NICs back to life. Without this, we cannot proceed with testing, and we are somewhat reluctant to try this ourselves, as it seems someone at RedHat has bricked a laptop this way.
We'll get you a utility today to help with this, and at the same time we're working on a quick hack to the driver to take in an ethtool eeprom dump and push it back to the NVM. We hope to have that done and working today.
We tried a BIOS update on one of the affected laptops, but this didn't help. And since we weren't aware of the problem in advance, we don't have an ethregs dump of these.
so it depends on whether the BIOS version has the LAN part included. Some bios versions do, and some do not. I know that in particular there were a couple versions of the bioses for the X60/T60 line that had LAN NVM updates.
So can you please get someone from Intel to help us with restoring the NVM to a working condition? Thanks a lot!
We are working on it, a couple of different avenues. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
