He finished checks and discovered the e100 issue was in reality a hardware 
problem in the switch being used that started to have problems now, 
coincidently with this e1000e issue getting more attention, after swapping 
the switch the problem stopped, so just a false alarm. I closed 
https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=44192 that was the original report.
