My current suspicion in all of this is either the GEM kernel patches or recent X server. However, the eeprom/nvram programming sequence seems non-trivial on the e1000e. You have to execute a set of precise register writes and register polls to successfully write things out to the nvram. This makes something like a random scribble out to MMIO space less likely to cause this problem. Is there some linear mapping of the nvram that could be written to on these cards? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
