Sure.

[E1000]: Fix netif_poll_enable crash in e1000_open

e1000_open calls e1000_up which will always call netif_poll_enable.
However, it's illegal to call netif_poll_enable without calling
netif_poll_disable at some prior time.  This constraint is violated
in e1000_open.

This patch fixes it by simply calling netif_poll_disable in e1000_open.
