[E1000-devel] e1000 causes system to freeze

[Tiffany E. <tif...@ya...>]

When loading the e1000 module (version 6.3.9) into SUSE 9.2, Linux kernel 
2.6.8 the machine freezes and has to be shut off by the power button.  I am 
using the Intel Pro/1000 GT.  I tried to use the 6.2.15 version of this 
driver and that loads but the system then freezes when the network cable is 
plugged into an active network.  Ethtool displays values of unknown for 
speed and duplex.

Any ideas?

Thank you,
Tiffany
