Article title: Ubuntu8.10Alpha damage to the Intel Nic has been fixed. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Includes basic categories such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open source.

Some days ago, we reported that Ubuntu 8.10 Alpha hurts Intel NICs.

According to the original report, the driver provided by Intel used by Linux Kernel 2.6.27-RC will damage the NVRAM (non-volatile random access memory) that Intel NICs use to store MAC address and other data ), specifically, the Intel ICH8/9 Nanqiao chip uses 82566 and 82567 Gigabit Ethernet controllers, but only when using the new e1000e series drivers.

According to the latest official bug list, this problem is now fixed.
