[opensuse-announce] Serious e1000e Driver Issue in SLE 11 Beta 1 and openSUSE 11.1 Beta 1
We have an important announcement regarding openSUSE 11.1 beta 1 and SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 beta 1: 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 by this issue. We will keep you posted. Please watch news.opensuse.org and the opensuse-announce mailing list for more information. -- Joe 'Zonker' Brockmeier openSUSE Community Manager jzb@zonker.net http://zonker.opensuse.org/ http://blogs.zdnet.com/community/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-announce+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-announce+help@opensuse.org
