Re: Dell E6500 Wired NIC - Intel 82567 aka e1000e
This sounds scary!

If you Google '82567LM ubuntu eeprom', you will read lots of scary stuff. It is evidently fixed in kernel 2.6.27-14, whereas Ubuntu has only progressed to 2.6.27-11.
However its not corrupt because when I put the other hard drive I have in the laptop that has Windows XP on it, the NIC in question works perfectly.
What is corrupt in Linux is not necessarily corrupt in Wndows and vice versa.
If it were me, I would blacklist e1000e and I would save a copy of my eeprom with:
Code:
sudo ethtool -e eth0 > savemyeep.txt
I hope someone else will jump in here with additional insight.
